Is Skipper Beck Getting Spitzer-ed? Where's the Rest of the Story?

Remember Charlotte's Hush, Hush Prostitution Scandal? Here's the latest from Charlotte Business Journal:

Longtime Charlotte car dealer Skipper Beck has been charged with soliciting prostitution. He has been ordered to appear in state court on Feb. 6.

The charge carries a maximum punishment of 60 days in jail.

According to an affidavit from the Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s office, Beck is accused of contacting Sallie Saxon, owner of Hush Hush escort services, to request a prostitute. The affidavit alleges Beck went to a local hotel and met with a “known prostitute … and paid the agency fee” of $400.

The Charlotte Observer also sez that he's "client 4."

That's it? Where's "the rest of the story?" Why were Beck's the only "client" initials leaked to the press? Who are clients 1 -3? Will they be revealed?

In other (related?) news, it appears that the Nick Mackey, Charlotte's former sheriff, has been cleared by the DA of his wrongdoings. No details provided as to why.

Now a newly-elected N.C. Rep. ,Nick Mackey no longer faces prosecution over a charge of failing to turn over business documents in connection with a nearly $100,000 civil judgment against him.

Hey, I am checking this blog using the phone and this appears to be kind of odd. Thought you'd wish to know. This is a great write-up nevertheless, did not mess that up.
