Louisiana: Internet crimes task force makes various arrests
NWLA News.com. By Daniel Davidson. 10/29/07
The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) has been hard at work busting locals for various offenses through the computer.
Charles Melton Edwards Jr., 32, of the 200 block of Childs Road, allegedly traveled to a Webster Parish convenience store to meet with what he thought was an underage girl. Instead of finding a little girl, he found himself being arrested by ICAC agents. Officers said Edwards admitted to being addicted to pornography and spending a lot of time on the computer.
“Instead of spending time with his own wife and children, he admitted to staying on the computer from the time he woke up until the time he went to sleep,” said Webster Parish Detective Scott Tucker. Edwards was arrested and charged with computer aided solicitation; indecent behavior; and attempted carnal knowledge. He was booked into Bayou Dorcheat Detention Center on $175,000 bond.
Other recent ICAC arrests are as follows:
- Thomas Williams, of the 9,000 block of Deren Rd. in Mooringsport, was arrested for computer aided solicitation of a minor for sexual purposes; indecent behavior with a juvenile; possession of schedule II (Marijuana); possession of schedule III (Lortab); possession of schedule IV (Xanax); possession of drug paraphernalia; and illegal carrying of a weapon. He was booked into Caddo Correctional Center on a $158,405.50 bond.
- Matthew Walter Schueler, of the 5,000 block of Greenwood Road in Shreveport, turned himself over to Hammond police on an active warrant for computer aided solicitation of a minor for sexual purposes.
