TDOT worker arrested in prostitution sting fired

Posted:

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A Tennessee Department of Transportation worker recently charged with soliciting a prostitute has been fired.

A spokesperson for TDOT told Nashville's News 2 Charles Harbison refused to resign from his position, resulting in his dismissal.

He was taken into custody last month after he made an unscheduled stop in a TDOT vehicle in an effort to pick up an officer posing as a prostitute.

Harbison worked as a highway worker for TDOT for the past decade.
