Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (US):
A pastor who has spoken out against homosexuality was arrested after propositioning a male undercover police officer outside a hotel, authorities said.
As the Rev. Lonnie Latham, 59, left jail Wednesday, he said "I was set up. I was in the area pastoring to police."
Latham, a member of the Southern Baptist Convention's executive committee, was arrested Tuesday and charged. Calls to Latham and his South Tulsa Baptist Church were not returned for comment.
