LAKE CITY — Police in Lake City say a 24-year-old man traveling across Arkansas and preaching has been arrested on charges of sexual indecency with a child and Internet stalking.
Police Chief Winred Saffell says Joe Ellis was arrested about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday after police in Alexander notified him of a felony warrant for his arrest.
Saffell says Ellis is accused of inappropriate online contact with a person he believed to be a minor. Saffell says the person was an undercover Alexander police detective.
Ellis is being held in the Saline County jail and scheduled to be in court Wednesday for a bond hearing.
