Doctor! Doctor! Give me a Break...

Up Clarksdale way...

A county supervisor in the Mississippi Delta thought he was meeting two prostitutes from SugarDaddyForMe.com when he pulled into the Shady Nook truck stop, but instead was arrested by the FBI, federal agents said in court documents.

Coahoma County Supervisor and Clarksdale cardiologist Dr. Roger Weiner was charged with the federal crime of soliciting prostitution across state lines Sunday and arraigned Monday.

A federal investigation began in December when Weiner’s former colleague gave FBI agent Justin Newsome the doctor’s ‘‘electronic communications’’ from a work computer the two shared, according to a seven-page affidavit filed Monday in federal court.

The agent began monitoring SugarDaddyForMe.com, which he described as an online chat room for wealthy ‘‘Sugardaddies’’ to meet ‘‘Sugarbabies’’ for ‘‘companionship and entertainment.’’ Newsome said in court documents he found Weiner’s ‘‘attempts to solicit sexual acts and companionship from female members in exchange for gifts and monetary payment.’’

The information was used to obtain a search warrant to view Weiner’s e-mails.Weiner did not immediately respond to messages left Tuesday on his cell phone and at his office, the Weiner Heart and Cardiovascular Institute. Weiner’s lawyer, Kevin Hovan, said the allegations will be investigated. He declined further comment.

The affidavit describes the investigation in salacious detail, alleging that Weiner promised to pay women hundreds of dollars per sexual tryst. An FBI agent posing as a prostitute began communication with Weiner on the Web site in January, according to the affidavit, under the screen name ‘‘wild—ginger.’’ Weiner gave the agent his e-mail address to set up a meeting.

At one point, the agent wrote that ‘‘you can expect to be treated like a king but this princess can only meet if she knows she is getting at least $500.’’

‘‘500 is no problem,’’ Weiner responded, according to the affidavit. ‘‘If you are truly ’wild’ and good looking your potential for spoiling is enormous.’’

Then on May 11, another undercover officer who began chatting with Weiner agreed to set up a ‘‘threesome’’ with Weiner and another supposed prostitute, court records state.

Authorities say Weiner called a few days later and offered to pay the women $400 each. But when Weiner pulled into the truck stop Sunday morning in his black BMW coupe, he was arrested. Authorities said he was carrying nearly $1,100 in cash.

He was arraigned in federal court in Greenville on Monday and released on $20,000 bond. A hearing is scheduled for Thursday in U.S. District Court in Greenville.

Weiner came to Mississippi from Philadelphia and opened his medical practice in the late 1990s, according to the clinic’s Web site. He was elected supervisor in 2007.

I suppose that the "good" news is... this didn't happen in Greenville! It is difficult to imagine that the same person in whom we trust our cardiovascular health, frequents the Shady Nook truck stop in his spare time. What happened to golf?

To further add insult to injury, we elected this sleazy surgeon as Supervisor which leads one to wonder whether some of his political cronies may have also had a finger in this pie... (sorry).

The sad news is that this article made national news, which will help perpetuate the stereotypical view of Mississippians as uncultured reprobates.

At any rate, this entire saga is prime fodder for a book and a mini-series... perhaps: "Surgeons and Sugarbabies", or simply, "Shady Nooky". The final chapter of this Delta novel will star an equally sleazy Southern lawyer who successfully defends the good doctor by quoting Johnny Cochran's now infamous line... "If it don't fit, you must acquit!"

Forthright

RE: Obama takes Michelle to a Broadway show.

People have lost their jobs and retirement funds, after years of hard work, saving and NOT taking date nights out at the cost of the family, yet our President wastes thousands and thousands of OUR TAX dollars to go to dinner and a Broadway show in NYC????? He tells the University of AZ students to not look for the corporate jobs; but to work for non-profits and have no goals of nicer things and better living...???? Hello? How are they to pay for their school loans being so humble? How will they support their families?

How does he look himself in the mirror saying one thing and doing another? His BS has got to stop! How dare him talk out of both sides of his mouth to all of us!

Hey, Lincoln went to the theater. Why not Obama?

Y'all are sick. You wouldn't blink if Bush or McCain took his wife to the theatre. Get over it.

I agree with 1:05,,

If the man has to pay for it. Let him be!!

No, because they are for and promote US industry, the free market and less taxation...not Socialism for all, other than himself! They never told the citizens to take lesser jobs for the sake of community and not desire a better life...they are advocates for it!

Obama will be the death of our freedoms and our lives as we once knew it, to be free to think for ourselves and to bear arms to protect those freedoms.

This link below is an actual recording (with photos) of the 1929 song of immigrants to
the United States. It should be re-recorded and released today. It applies
to both the U.S. and Australia.

1929 Immigration Song

It must have taken a lot of digging to pull this one out!!
Really reaches back into the past.. Happened back then
but sure isn't happening now.

This is a video and song about immigration that was very popular
around the late 1920's, and early 30's.
Maybe this should be our Immigration National Anthem....
but that wouldn't be politically correct today would it?

To 8:59--No. It's not free. It's $119, I believe. I'm sure he's finding some way to skim money off of this offer, as well. Heck, he's been skimming off of DRMC funds for years.

Mayor Update said...

Well, here we go...the traveling Mayor is at it again! She leaves soon with local kids to Germany on a summer excursion...how nice? Good thing that there are no issues here at home for her to be dealing with, good thing our economy is booming to pay for her trip, good thing we have bountiful staff in place to take up her slack....NOT!!!!

We have got to find someone to run against this crazy woman in 2012! Putting her back in office for a third time would be insane and a death sentence to Greenville.

If you know of anyone, who has good business sense, good marketing skills, good management skills and cares about Greenville...please!!! Let's start working NOW to get them in office in the next two years! Otherwise, be prepared to watch this city fail!

This Mayor is a self serving, egotistical, maniacal, diva, self important, spolied rotten, childish wretch and she has got to go!

The citizens of Leland woke up from their funk and replaced their Diva mayor. After several years of a three ring cirlce of local politics, Leland is moving forward. The good thing is that they elected a qualified candidate. And he is a black geltleman. So for all you conspiracy theorists out there you can forget the race card. It is all about being qualified and having the best of interest for the Town of Leland!

how is greenville christian holding up? i hear 2 families are coming over to ws.

amen said...

No race cards for Greenville either. I don't care if he/she is purple polka dotted, if he/she is qualified, cares and has a history of intelligence, good financial/mamagement background, good common sense and experience in bringing industry back to Greenville...they will have my vote!

In response to 10:18's question: Only TWO families? Maybe the run on WS from the Carrie Stern folks has put a squeeze on available space.

Anonymous said...

carrie stern closing was a good thing for ws, there will be several famiies coming over from there. does that mean that carrie stern public school was acceptable but regular public school is not? i know private/parochial school is expensive, but to me there is no alternative.
