State Rep. Ron Sailor on Tuesday pleaded guilty to laundering what he believed to be $375,000 in drug money for an undercover agent posing as a drug dealer.
Sailor, 33, a Democrat who represents parts of DeKalb and Rockdale counties, agreed to resign his position in the legislature, U.S. District Court Judge Jack Camp noted during a brief plea hearing.

Sailor was arrested by federal agents on Dec. 19, after taking $300,000 in cash from the undercover agent at a metro Atlanta hotel.
Sailor quickly admitted his involvement in the scheme and agreed to cooperate with federal authorities in a public corruption investigation, U.S. Attorney David Nahmias said in a statement.
Sailor entered his negotiated plea before Camp, who will sentence Sailor on May 22.
He represents parts well.
i believe his father was booted from local news when caught
passing bad checks.
