EARLIER: Berea man, 82, allegedly traded pills for sex

BEREA — An 82-year-old man is accused of trading Oxycontin for sexual favors from two women.
Archie Anglin was arrested Oct. 21 on charges of trafficking in a controlled substance. He was also charged with possession of a controlled substance after Berea Police Det. Lee Ann Roberts discovered what appeared to be 11 hydrocodone tablets and eight alprazolam pills, the generic form of Xanax, in an aspirin bottle when she served Anglin with a warrant, the arrest report states.
Anglin was taken to Madison County jail and released Thursday on a $10,000 property bond. He is scheduled to appear in Madison County District Court Wednesday for a preliminary hearing.
Berea police began to investigate Anglin after he made several calls to police regarding stolen property. There were often young women who were not related to Anglin at his home when officers responded to his home on Highway 1016, said Berea Police Capt. Ken Clark.
Officers initially investigated because of concern that the young people were taking advantage of Anglin because of his age, Clark said. During the investigation, two women told police they had performed sexual favors for Anglin in exchange for Oxycontin.
