An Arkansas cop, who previously boasted that he is a figure young people look to, was arrested in Texas after he allegedly sought sex with an underage girl — who turned out to be an undercover officer, authorities said.

Texarkana, Arkansas police officer Telvin Wilson, 31, was among three suspects hit with charges last week tied to a sting operation conducted by police in the twin city of Texarkana, Texas. The two cities bear the same name and are next to each other along the Arkansas and Texas border.
