Fayette County Deputy Constable Arrested

{Lexington, Kentucky}...Fayette County Deputy Constable Dannie R. Pendygraft, 58, was arrested Friday on charges of promoting prostitution of two or more prostitutes, permitting prostitution and first-degree official misconduct after being accused of trading rent for sexual favors from prostitutes who lived at his property. The prostitutes told police that when they got behind in their rent, Pendygraft gave them extra time to pay if they would perform oral sex on him and that he encouraged them to "turn tricks" to earn rent money. Joyce Clater, Fayette County's elected constable for the First District, says she appointed Pendygraft as a deputy constable about two years ago, and she has no plans to suspend him. Pendygraft is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday.
