A former pastor of Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains, Georgia, where former President Jimmy Carter had long been a member before his death on Dec. 29, has been arrested in Volusia County, Florida, on child sexting charges.

Jeffery Summers, 52, was taken into custody as part of “Operation Full Throttle,” an undercover sting aimed at targeting suspected child predators.

Authorities from the Port Orange Police Department reported that Summers was among 17 individuals arrested during the operation.
