Man arrested for child solicitation


PLYMOUTH — On June 1, Plymouth Police were notified of an individual driving northbound on N Michigan St. who had attempted to meet up with a 13-year-old.


The driver was stopped and detained while an investigation was conducted. A member of the Big Country Predator Exposure program produced evidence detailing graphic messages and phone calls between Larry Charlton Jr., 42, of Walkerton, and the 13-year-old. Charlton then traveled to a location in Plymouth under the assumption that the 13-year-old would be waiting for him.
Charlton instead was met by a member of the Big Country Predator Exposure Program, who then called the police.
Charlton was arrested for Child Solicitation and transported to the Marshall County Jail.

Suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
