SPRINGFIELD, Colo. (KMGH) — A police officer with the Springfield Police Department in Colorado was arrested for allegedly attempting to solicit sex from a minor in Florida, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation announced Wednesday.
Officer Dustin Dwayne Martin, 37, contacted an undercover Orlando-area deputy whom he believed to be a minor via Snapchat, the bureau said. Martin was caught in an investigation the Orange County Sheriff's Office was undertaking into people seeking to solicit children online.
The bureau charged Martin with internet luring of a child — a Class 5 felony. He has since been placed on unpaid administrative leave while the investigation continues.
