Texarkana Area Law Enforcement Arrest 5 For Solicitation of a Minor/Prostitution

A large sting operation took place over a few days and multiple law enforcement agencies captured and arrested 5 men in the Texarkana area for alleged online solicitation of a minor and solicitation of prostitution.

The Texarkana Texas Police Department joined forces with investigators from the Bowie County Sheriff's Office, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texarkana Arkansas Police Department, Miller County Sheriff's Office, and the FBI to find and arrest these men.

The law enforcement agencies conducted a "sting" operation looking for people who were attempting to solicit sex with a minor online.

According to the Texarkana Texas Police Department's Facebook page,

Over the course of the multi-day operation, we arrested three men for Online Solicitation of a Minor after they reached out and communicated with an undercover officer that they thought was an underaged girl.

Three men came to the address they were given by the undercover cop and police were waiting.  Arrested were Dylan Dickens 32 years of age, Jesus Rosa Rosales 37 years of age and Keith Godfrey 54 years of age.

The sting operation also brought in two other arrests that weren't related to an underaged person. Henry Oller 67 years of age and Lance Bradshaw 42 years of age were both arrested for Solicitation of Prostitution.

TTPD states that all five of the men were booked into the Bi-State Jail. Dickens and Godfrey's bond was set at $100,000 each. Bond had not been set for the other men as of this writing. Dickens was released from jail on Friday after posting bond.
