Senior U.S. District Judge Jack Camp, charged with purchasing cocaine and other drugs, is scheduled to plead guilty Friday in federal court in Atlanta, his attorney said.
“We’ve reached a mutually agreeable resolution of the case,” Atlanta attorney Bill Morrison said Thursday.
Morrison would not disclose the specific charges his client would plead guilty to.
Camp is scheduled to enter his plea before Senior U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan, a judge from Washington who was assigned the case when the federal judges in Atlanta recused themselves from Camp's case. Hogan disclosed Thursday on the court's docket that Camp was scheduled to plead guilty on Friday.
Camp, free on a $50,000 bond, was arrested in early October near Sandy Springs. Camp, 67, is accused of purchasing cocaine and marijuana, along with prescription painkillers, which he shared with an exotic dancer he met last spring at the Goldrush Showbar in Atlanta, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit for his arrest.
Camp met the dancer, identified in the affidavit as CI-1, when he purchased a private dance from her, according to the affidavit by Special Agent Mary Jo Mangrum, a member of a task force investigating public corruption. He returned the next night and purchased another dance and sex from her, the affidavit said. The two then began a relationship that revolved around drug use and sex.
In some cases, he bought drugs from the dancer, while in others the pair purchased them from other parties, according to the affidavit. Camp sometimes took loaded guns to the deals.
Camp’s arrest came after a buy from an undercover agent, authorities said.
