The president of Jackson State University was arrested over the weekend for allegedly trying to solicit a prostitute, police said.
William Bynum Jr., 57, was one of 17 people busted in an undercover prostitution sting, according to Clinton Police Chief Ford Hayman. Bynum Jr. resigned as the head of Jackson State University on Monday.
