State Rep. Brett Easterbrook, a Republican who represents District 65 - covering Washington County and parts of Clarke and Baldwin counties - and Kory Wesley, president of the Satsuma City School Board, were booked into the Escambia County Detention Center on Oct. 2.
Jail records show Easterbrook is charged with first-degree human trafficking and prostitution. Wesley is charged with first-degree human trafficking and attempting to elude a police officer.
