Councilman caught by fake hooker

A Beech Grove councilman was arrested for allegedly trying to solicit a prostitute Tuesday morning. Paul David Mobley, 63, was charged with patronizing a prostitute, a misdemeanor. According to police, Mobley approached an undercover female officer in the 3000 block of East Washington Street and agreed to pay $20 for oral sex. The undercover officer said she told Mobley to meet him behind a building, but Mobley changed his mind and drove off. Police stopped Mobley, who said he “just had a moment of weakness.” Beech Grove Mayor Dennis Buckley said he sent Mobley a letter asking him to resign. Mobley was elected on Jan. 1 as an at-large councilman.
