Jesse Milner, 26, a Jefferson County volunteer firefighter from Pine Bluff, was arrested Sunday and is being held pending a probable cause hearing.
Predator Poachers livestreamed a confrontation in which members accused Milner of communicating online with someone they identified as a 13-year-old girl before a sheriff’s deputy took him into custody.
Jefferson County jail records list allegations of sexual solicitation of a minor, internet stalking of a child, computer exploitation of a child and sexually grooming a child, though formal charges had not been filed as of Monday.
Authorities have released few details, including whether any actual child was involved or whether the sheriff’s investigation originated from the civilian group’s sting.
