June 13, 2006 - JONESBORO -- A Clayton County Deputy Sheriff could find out today if he'll be fired.
Forty-one year old Christopher Morris Johnson was arrested Friday night during an undercover prostitution sting.
Officers say Johnson was arrested when he propositioned a female officer at the Woods Motel on North Main Street in Jonesboro.
"We've had numerous complaints about prostitution in this area," Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill said. "The sheriff's office and the police department are very serious about cleaning this area up."
Johnson says he was riding a bicycle in the area and stopped to talk to a woman. He insists he did not solicit the woman for sex. He says he was not carrying any money at the time.
Johnson has worked for the Sheriff's office for just three weeks. He was training to be a jailer at the county jail.
Johnson will meet with Sheriff Hill later today. Hill told Channel 2 Action News that he will probably fire Johnson for the arrest.
