Missouri church leader tried to pay for sex on Grindr with Arby’s card

He tried to lure beefcakes with “the meats.”

A Missouri church leader allegedly tried to pay for sex on the gay hookup app Grindr — with an Arby’s card, according to a report.

Using the handle “DILF,” Barry Cole Poyner, 57, allegedly tried to bed hot college-age guys by offering to pay for gas, clothes and roast beef sandwiches, police told the Kirksville Daily Express.

The Church of Christ elder — who is also a professor at nearby Truman State University — was busted after a student reported him and a cop went undercover on the app, according to the paper.

Poyner allegedly sent the officer a message saying he “would love to have a sugar daddy relationship” —then offered to fill up his gas tank in exchange for sexual favors on Dec. 3, according to the paper. If the younger guy was willing, Poyner said, he “might throw in an Arby’s card LOL.”

Instead, Poyner was greeted by officers at the gas station, where he tried to flee, according to the paper.

When he was pulled over a few blocks away, he allegedly told police he “was not doing anything with a minor” and was only “trying to help” by offering gifts to men on the app.

He was charged with patronizing prostitution and faces up to six months behind bars.

Truman State has since suspended Poyner. It wasn’t immediately clear if he was still in his leadership role at the Church of Christ, which has made homophobic comments in the past.

This is pretty hilarious but people shouldn't go to jail for prostitution. Granted, it's the hypocrites like this that contribute to continuation of the black market sex trade.

Yeah, if only he had offered to buy them some drinks he'd be ok? The fact that the police felt the need to get involved with it is more disturbing than the fact that he was was an elder or whatever at his church and looking for some dick.

Good point. While it’s pathetic that someone was offering $25 in exchange for sex, is that really the biggest crime in that city?

Eh, his fucking Church and many like it are the very financial resources that fund and motivate votes of their constituents in the anti-prostitution and anti-porn lobbies in the name of "The Children" or "The Family". The hypocrisy of them being anti-gay, anti-porn and anti- prostitution all while soliciting for make prostitution is what makes this amusing. At least he wasn't piddling little boys like a lot of the Catholic preists and others in the "Christian" movement. I won't bother getting into their anti-drug, yay WOD, police are hero's bullshit.

Remove the funding and the US might actually join the first world regarding vice law at least in this area.

Please don't think anything I said disagrees with anything you said. Hypocrisy in the church is a problem, but so is junk like this.

Wrong. What gay wouldn’t be turned on by Arby’s? “WE HAVE THE MEATS” it’s an enticing slogan. I’ll take some Big Beefs please.

The laws are funny. If he used the app to hookup with an anonymous guy for gay sex, that's perfectly legal. They are 2 consenting adults and the app only serves as a platform for an exchange. If you offer to fill-up their gas tank and throw in a few roast beef sandwiches, it's now solicitation and you get locked up. Why not sell me the roast beef sandwich for $25 and whatever happens next is between 2 consenting adults?

If you go 20 miles over the speed limit, you get a ticket. You may be endangering other people's lives by traveling at an "unsafe" speed. If you want to risk your own health and safety, and the safety of your sex partner, why should you be locked up for it? The government doesn't lock people up for smoking, which is also damaging to your health. Why do they care about your dick so much?

The story reads that the heart of the problem was that he is a college teacher and he was sexually harassing students in person and on the app.  Someone made that complaint, and the police then got him to offer money for sex.  Once you commit a crime in view of the police, you're in trouble.

If he was sexually harassing students, then prove he was sexually harassing students. That needs to be stopped. But to then try and entrap him for another generally harmless crime? And some of these folks don't understand why we aren't worried about whether they get to go home at night...
