Crime Alert: this one involves a council member

MNPD staged a prostitution sting at a Metro Center hotel tonight mere blocks away from Salemtown, and officers arrested 3 people, one of whom was District 4 (Brentwood) council member Brady Banks, who was also Karl Dean's manager of the Mayor's Office of Neighborhoods a few years ago. According to WSMV: A Metro councilman was arrested Thursday for allegedly patronizing prostitution during a sting at a motel in the Metro Center area.
Councilman Brady Banks, 33, is accused of paying $100 to a female undercover officer in exchange for sex, police said.
Banks allegedly met the officer Thursday just after 4:30 p.m. while responding to an ad posted by the police department on the Internet.
Banks is married to a Methodist minister and is a new father.
According to the Sheriff's Office, Banks was released on $1,000 bond tonight after being booked.
CM Banks has been considered an up-and-coming young Democrat who was being marketed and groomed as a viable challenger to Tennessee Republicans. I was never concerned about his partisan chops, but I was fairly underwhelmed by his tenure in the Mayor's office in what was supposed to be an advocacy role for neighborhoods.
Now I question his judgment and his willingness to bring alleged criminal activity to my North Nashville community rather than risking it in his quiet suburban community near bucolic Radnor Lake.
