Elkhart man one of five people arrested on child solicitation charges

Authorities arrested five people, including an Elkhart man, on child solicitation charges after they tried to meet who they believed was a 13-year-old girl.

The Grant County Sheriff’s Department and Marion Police say four men traveled from outside Marion County to the meeting:

Teddy Lunceford, 38, of Elkhart was arrested, along with Isaiah Frye, 28, of Loogootee; 42-year-old Johnathon Sasser, of Anderson; Joshua Stephen Keck, 39, of Frankton; and Raul Escribano, 35, from Marion.

Predator Catchers Incorporated, which is a civilian group that exposes online child exploitation, alerted police.

When the men arrived expecting to meet the girl, they were met by police.
