The Texarkana Police Department's Special Investigations Unit, in collaboration with the Texas Department of Public Safety, Bowie County Sheriff’s Office, Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI, conducted a sting operation targeting online solicitation, resulting in four arrests.
Two men were arrested for online solicitation of a minor:
- Gregory Frame, 45
- Derek Thomas, 33 (also charged with Unlawfully Carrying a Weapon)
These arrests followed communication with an undercover officer posing as an underage girl and their subsequent arrival at a designated location expecting to meet her.
Two additional arrests were made for online solicitation of prostitution:
- Cameron Dotson, 21
- Robert Hopkins, 37 (also charged with Delivery of a Controlled Substance)
All four men are currently detained in the Bowie County Jail.
The Texarkana Police Department expressed gratitude to the assisting agencies for their collaboration and reiterated their commitment to community safety.
