He and two other men were arrested for distribution of meth. Police said Silverthorne, who also served as a substitute teacher for the Fairfax County Public Schools, provided two grams of methamphetamine to undercover detectives. Police started an investigation into a meth operation the week of July 18, according to Maj. Ed O'Carroll, police spokesman."A suspect was identified who was allegedly distributing methamphetamine through a website used to arrange for casual sexual encounters between men," a news release said. Police said an undercover detective made contact with Silverthorne after creating a profile on a website. The two then communicated via text messaging."During the course of communication, the suspect advised that he could provide methamphetamine for sexual encounters. Undercover detectives agreed to meet the suspect for a group sexual encounter in exchange for methamphetamine. The suspect arranged to bring methamphetamine along with other men to the engagement," the release said."Silverthorne provided methamphetamine to an undercover officer and was subsequently arrested," said O'Carroll during a Friday morning news conference. Police said after Silverthorne provided the drugs, he was charged with felony distribution of methamphetamine and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. After Silverthorne's arrest, councilmember Jeffrey Greenfield was appointed acting mayor."City operations will continue as usual," said Chris Fow Cohen, city spokesman. Also, Silverthorne has been terminated from the substitute teaching position he has held since April 2016, said Fairfax County Schools spokesman John Torre. Capt. Jack Hardin, commander of the Organized Crime and Narcotics Division of the Fairfax County Police Department, said a citizen provided the department with information about the drugs-for-sex operation. "We had an idea it was the mayor," Hardin said during the news conference."He had one other relationship on the website, besides us." Police met with Silverthorne Thursday night on the parking lot of the hotel, Hardin said. "The mayor was supposed to provide the methamphetamine. The UC (undercover) was supposed to provide the hotel room," Hardin said. Hardin said that it doesn't matter if you selling or giving it away methamphetamine, you can be charged with distribution. Hardin said Silverthorne met with his supplier at the hotel where police were meeting with him. At the hotel, Hardin said police arrested Silverthorne's alleged suppliers, Juan Jose Fernandez, 34, and Caustin Lee McLaughlin, 21, both of Maryland. A fourth person at the hotel was not arrested. Fernandez was charged with of felony distribution of methamphetamine, felony possession with the intent to distribute methamphetamine and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. McLaughlin was charged with felony distribution of methamphetamine, felony obstruction of justice, and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Police said they used a stun gun on McLaughlin during his arrest after he resisted. Police searched Silverthorne's home and Hardin said it didn't appear he had large supplies of methamphetamine at his house.
