Busted In Acadiana

Jefferson Davis Parish authorities have arrested a 25-year-old Barksdale Air Force Base flight mechanic who had inappropriate communications with who he thought was a 13-year-old girl.

The American Press reports that William Elwood Simon of Bossier City, whose rank was not available, was booked with two counts of computer-aided solicitation of a minor, four counts of indecent behavior with a juvenile and two counts of producing child pornography.

Sheriff Ricky Edwards says Simon struck up a conversation with an undercover agent posing as a teenage girl online

Simon was booked into the Bossier City jail on Thursday and was taken to the Jefferson Davis Sheriff’s Office in Jennings, where he is being held without bond.

It could not be determined if Simon has an attorney.
