Logansport man arrested trying to meet up with Rochester girl for sex

A Logansport man was arrested for trying to meet up with a Rochester girl.

The Fulton County Sheriff’s Department says that early this month a parent located inappropriate messages on their child’s phone. The messages were sexual in nature and allegedly sent by an adult male from Logansport.

Investigators with the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office continued the conversation with the male who was identified as William Brazzle, 66.

On Tuesday, Brazzle agreed to meet with what he thought was a 13-year-old girl to engage in sexual acts at the Rochester City Park. He was taken into custody without incident at the site. The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office says Brazzle was in possession of marijuana and alcohol which investigators believe was for the child victim.

Brazzle was lodged into the Fulton County Detention Center charged with Level 4 Child Solicitation, Level 5 Dealing Marijuana to a minor and Class C misdemeanor Possession of Paraphernalia.

Fulton County Sheriff Travis Heishman was to remind Fulton County citizens to monitor their children’s media accounts for online predators.

“The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office will continue to aggressively investigate any predator that has intentions to harm our children. Resources will be dedicated to identifying, investigating and bringing them to justice,’ said Sheriff Heishman.
