It's what everyone's talking about in the small city of Plum Springs.

"It's got me speechless personally.I cannot believe the mayor of such a wonderful community could be caught in such a horrendous act," said Tiffany Triplett, a shocked area resident.

"He knew he was wrong. If you do the crime, then you pay the time," added another resident, Eva Gibson.

On June 19, Plum Springs Mayor William S. Roberts was cited for allegedly soliciting an undercover Bowling Green police officer for prostitution.

According to police, Roberts offered the undercover officer 20.00 for oral sex right here at the 1200 block of Adams Street.

We tried to contact Roberts at his home.

But according to a resident inside, he wasn't there.

Reporter: "Do you know where he's at?"

Woman: "No."

Reporter: "We just wanna get his side of the story."

Woman: "No, no comment!"

Reporter: "No comment?"

Woman: "No..."

The woman does however say Roberts is not guilty.

Reporter: "Is he saying that he's innocent...that's all we want to know?"

Woman: "He's innocent...he's innocent."

Police say the conversation between William Roberts and the undercover officer was monitored and listened to.

The investigation is still ongoing.

Roberts is scheduled to be arraigned in court July 10.
