Atlanta , Georgia ( CNN ) -- A federal judge in Georgia has been arrested on drug and weapons charges after federal agents say he bought drugs for a stripper with whom he was having an affair . Senior U.S. District Judge Jack Camp Jr. has been charged with possession of cocaine , marijuana and the painkiller roxicodone , according to court documents . He is also charged with possessing a firearm as an unlawful user of controlled substances and with aiding and abetting the possession of drugs by the stripper , who had a prior drug conviction . Camp was arrested Friday after federal agents said he bought drugs from an undercover agent . He made an initial appearance Monday in a federal court in Atlanta and was released on $ 50,000 bond . The charges allege that Camp had been paying the stripper for sex since the past spring and was fronting money to buy drugs for both of them . Before the sting that led to his arrest , he told her , `` Let me pay him , because you 've already got a record , '' the affidavit states . Camp , 67 , is the former chief judge for the Northern District of Georgia . He was appointed to the bench by President Ronald Reagan in 1987 and took senior status in 2008 . His lead attorney , Bill Morrison , would not discuss the facts of the case but played down his client 's public office . `` This is really a case between Judge Camp and his wife , '' Morrison told reporters outside the Atlanta federal courthouse . `` It 's not a case of Judge Camp being a judge , it 's a case of Judge Camp being a husband . '' Tuesday , Morrison stressed his client 's case has not been presented to a grand jury . `` If there is an indictment , then the next step after that will be a hearing , '' he said . A Justice Department spokeswoman confirmed the next court appearance in the case has not yet been scheduled . The dancer , who is not identified in court papers , had a prior drug-related federal felony conviction on her record and `` recently began cooperating with the FBI , '' according to the charges -- but she began recording the judge before she became an informant , the affidavit states . The woman has been promised immunity from prosecution , but also had fewer tapes than she originally told agents from other law enforcement agencies , according to a footnote in the court papers . During the deal that led to his arrest , Camp carried at least two pistols , his arrest affidavit states . According to the paperwork , it was one of at least three transactions in which he was armed . `` I 'll watch your back anytime 'cause I 'm afraid , and I not only have my little pistol , I 've got my big pistol , '' the affidavit quotes Camp as telling the woman beforehand . `` So , uh , we 'll take care of any problems that come up . '' They took separate cars to the meeting , which took place in the parking lot of a suburban Atlanta nightclub . According to the affidavit , Camp pocketed the drugs and told the undercover agent , `` We 'll call you again . ''
