Throughout February, SCD established electronic communication with one potential suspect which resulted in the exchange of illicit photographs and comments with a victim who was being portrayed as a minor child.

Tuesday night, the suspect contacted the victim to arrange a meeting in the San Angelo Community Medical Center parking lot.  When the suspect arrived, he was met by SCD Detectives who ultimately took him into custody without incident.

The suspect was identified as Howard Alexander Plumley, 28, of Ballinger, Texas.  Plumley was transported to the Tom Green County Jail and booked for Felony 2 Online Solicitation of a Minor.

Members of the Patrol Division assisted with the investigation, which is ongoing.
