ATLANTA (GaeaTimes.com) — U.S. District Judge Jack T. Camp Jr. is is facing drug and firearms charges after a stripper-turned-informant told authorities he used cocaine, marijuana and other illegal drugs with her. He was arrested Friday night near Sandy Springs, about 15 miles north of Atlanta.

Bill Morrison, Camp’s lead attorney declined to discuss the specifics of the case, which he portrayed it as a matter a private breach of integrity rather than as a public one by a long-term public official, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Camp, 67, could not be reached for comment Monday. A call to his office was not immediately returned.

According to an FBI affidavit, Camp purchased the drugs from an exotic dancer he met at the Goldrush Showbar, an Atlanta strip club. He also faces a weapons charge in connection with two illegal firearms found in his car, according to the complaint.

Camp joined the court in 1988 after being nominated by President Ronald Reagan. He attended the Citadel and University of Virginia law school.
