SILVER LAKE — Mayor Anthony Silva was arrested this morning at his Mayor’s Youth Camp and charged with one felony and three misdemeanors involving minors one year ago during an annual summer camp he manages for 100 underprivileged children and teens.
The charges revolve around his involvement in a strip poker game, according to Amador County District Attorney's office officials.
Silva, 42, also has been charged with a felony on suspicion of making an audio recording of the game and misdemeanors alleging he provided alcohol to a minor, contributed to the delinquency of a minor and cruelty to a child by endangering his or her health.
Bail has been set at $20,000.
Charges were filed on Wednesday by the Amador County District Attorney after a months-long investigation that was conducted in conjunction with the San Joaquin County District Attorney. He was arrested by agents from the San Joaquin County District Attorney's office. Also at the camp for the arrest were FBI agents, as well as those from Stockton Police Department.
Silva was relieved of his duties at the camp when the arrest was made about 9:30 a.m. Law enforcement was bumping up against a statute of limitations that was days away.
