NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP, abc24.com) - A Nashville councilman has resigned as the outreach director for the Governor's Books from Birth Foundation after being charged with patronizing prostitution.

Thirty-three-year-old Brady Banks was one of three people arrested in a sting on Thursday after responding to an Internet advertisement for an escort service, according to a police account reported in The Tennessean.

Also arrested were 38-year-old Matthew Moynihan, the co-founder of a tea party group called Sumner United for Responsible Government, and 37-year-old Jyotin Arora.

Banks and Arora do not have listed phone numbers, and an email to Banks was not answered. A call to the number listed for Moynihan rang unanswered.

A judicial commissioner set each man's bond at $1,000.
