OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Dr. Roger Weiner, a Coahoma County supervisor accused of soliciting prostitutes on SugarDaddyforMe.com, has been denied access to records from a cellular telephone apparently used by an undercover agent involved in a sting operation that led to his arrest.
U.S. Magistrate David A. Sanders on Thursday granted a motion by federal prosecutors to keep the records from Weiner for now.
Federal prosecutors allege Weiner thought he was meeting two prostitutes when he was arrested by the FBI at the Shady Nook truck stop on May 17. Prosecutors say Weiner planned to take the women to his cabin on Moon Lake near Clarksdale.
Weiner, a prominent Clarksdale cardiologist, was charged with soliciting prostitution across state lines. He has pleaded not guilty. He is scheduled for trial July 27 in Oxford.
