Freddie Willis is well-known in Danville.
He served on city council in the 70's and 80's and he's been a teacher for 25-years.
So there's no doubt this case is a shock to many people.
Freddie Willis is accused of propositioning a male undercover officer for mutual oral sex.

[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Danville;]
The alleged incident happened here in Ballou Park last July.
Police were staking out the park because of numerous complaints of homosexual activity.
In court, Willis didn't deny having a conversation about sex with the officer.
He says, though, the officer initiated the conversation and he played along so the man would leave him alone.

The alleged solicitation happened while both men were in their own vehicles.
There have been no accusations that Willis attempted any physical contact with the officer.

The governor's plan to make the Volvo plant bigger and better calls for a 50-million dollar incentive package.

That partnership's purpose would be to give grants to Virginia companies, helping them grown.
Another three million dollars for site work at Volvo would come from the Governor's Opportunity Fund -- that money already is approved.
The rest of the state's contribution -- about 22-million dollars-- would be in the form of tax credits and other incentives.))

Lawmakers are expected to create the investment partnership fund.
But if for some reason they don't, it could send the state and Volvo back into negotiations.
