A West Virginia state senator has been charged with soliciting prostitution, and now faces calls from the state's Democratic party to resign from office
Republican state Sen. Mike Maroney turned himself in to police on Wednesday around 9 a.m., the Glen Dale, West Virginia, police chief confirmed to CNN on Thursday. Maroney was arraigned in Marshall County Magistrate Court on Wednesday morning and released on bond. He pleaded not guilty to the charge, which carries a maximum of six months in county jail and a $100 fine for first time offenders. CNN has reached out to Maroney and his attorney for comment.
