William Bynum Jr., president of Jackson State University, resigned Monday after he was arrested in central Mississippi over the weekend as part of a prostitution sting -- This included Bynum, 57, who is accused of procuring services of a prostitute, false statement of identity and simple possession of marijuana.
Shonda McCarthy, an art gallery director at Jackson State University, was also among those arrested. She was charged separately from Bynum with procuring services of a prostitute and possession of marijuana while operating a motor vehicle.
The Clinton Police Department said in a news release that the two-day operation, which made contact with offenders via online dark web sites, resulted in a total of 17 arrests. During a news conference Monday, Clinton Police Chief Ford Hayman said that those arrested were responding to an online ad for prostitution services, and were met by an undercover cop at a hotel near the Interstate 20, The Associated Press reported.
It was not immediately clear if Bynum or McCarthy are represented by an attorney. A representative from Jackson State University declined to provide additional comment.
