From Maryland State Police:
Maryland State Police arrested a man today on charges he solicited sex from an undercover trooper who was posing as a child over the Internet in Cecil County.
Fred Packard, 73, of Havre de Grace, Maryland, is charged with one count of sexual solicitation of a minor. He was taken to the MSP North East Barrack for processing.
According to a preliminary investigation, a trooper with the Maryland State Police Computer Crimes Unit in December was monitoring an online dating application while posing as a 14-year-old male. Packard initiated an online conversation with the goal of soliciting a sexual encounter with the minor.
The suspect suggested meeting with whom he thought was the minor today in North East, Maryland. According to a preliminary investigation, Packard arrived at that location at about 1:45 p.m. Maryland State Police arrested the suspect at the scene.
The Maryland State Police Computer Crimes Unit coordinates the Maryland Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. This is a combined law enforcement effort involving police departments across Maryland that is made possible in part due to grant funds provided by the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention, Youth and Victim Services and by a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Justice. Task force investigators focus on identifying those involved in child pornography via the Internet and other related crimes that victimize children.
Holy Shit! Bob, is that you??? Stick to the rest stops bro!
It’s all Trump’s fault
Gordon is a cunt
I got the shitty end of the stick!
The MD State Police North East doing something other than harassing drivers on Route 40? We didn’t think they were capable of such a thing. They have corrupt Troopers like Pepe and Eby who love to Harass Cecil County Law Abiding Citizens to get their monthly quota.
I got the shitty end of the stick.
Ever since I got pulled over for doing 72 in a 55 and cited, I will never forget what they did to me. Giving me a ticket for speeding is true harassment. It’s worst than being Soul Crusher’s butt plug imitator.
@ North East Citizen
Just curious how much of a tolerance should the Trooper have given you? Receiving a citation for 17 over to me doesn’t seem unreasonable but that is me. You do know that there are often other factors which come in to play regarding the officer’s decision to issue a citation and not a warning. Those are but are not limited to traffic, weather, and road conditions, etc. A history of prior warnings or citations and then the big one. Attitude. You would be surprised how many people can literally talk themselves in to a citation. Race unfortunately is some times a factor. Sometimes white cops have less tolerance for black drivers as do black cops have for white drivers. Whatever the case it should not occur. I would be interested to know what criteria you personally think should be considered by the officer prior to the issuance of a citation. 25 MPH over the posted limit? A severed head sitting on you backseat? Whatever, I was just curious.
Ahhh I always knew this guy was a creep. lol He’d always send me weird and uncomfortable messages on grindr. I’d never respond but he’d still keep messaging me. I was gonna block him but he ended up stopping. Funnily enough, his last message to me was the day before this article was posted.
