Highway 15 South Fire Department Fires 26-Year-Old Volunteer After Child Stalking Arrest

Q: Years after his arrest, what became of the firefighter accused of online child stalking?

There is no verified public information in the material provided showing what happened to Jesse Milner years after his arrest. The available reporting only covers the immediate aftermath in July 2026: Milner, a 26-year-old volunteer firefighter from Pine Bluff, was arrested by the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office after a confrontation livestreamed by the civilian group Predator Poachers. He was booked on allegations including sexual solicitation of a minor, internet stalking of a child, computer exploitation of a child, and sexually grooming a child. At that point, formal charges had not yet been filed, and the case was awaiting a probable-cause hearing. Authorities also had not publicly clarified whether an actual child was involved or whether the case stemmed entirely from the civilian sting operation. What is documented is that the Highway 15 South Volunteer Fire Department said it was “shocked and deeply disturbed” by the allegations and removed Milner from the department effective immediately, noting he had not been active for some time despite still being listed as a member. So, based on the news story and the additional search material, the only confirmed outcome is that he was arrested, jailed pending further court review, and dismissed from the volunteer fire department. No later court disposition or long-term outcome is provided in the supplied sources.

Highway 15 South Volunteer Fire Department said Tuesday it had immediately released Jesse Milner after his arrest in a Jefferson County child internet stalking case.
The department said it was “shocked and deeply disturbed,” had no knowledge of the alleged conduct, and noted Milner had stayed on its roster but had not actively responded to calls for an extended period.
Milner, 26, of Pine Bluff, was arrested Sunday after a Predator Poachers confrontation that was livestreamed and posted online, with a sheriff’s deputy seen taking 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; as of Monday, formal charges had not been filed.
Authorities have released few details, including whether any actual child was involved, and Milner remains held pending a probable-cause hearing.
