RawNews1st – A multi-agency operation led to 12 arrests and 45 felony charges over the weekend in Santa Rosa County.
Sheriff Bob Johnson announced Tuesday that all 13 suspects believed they were talking to 13 and 14 year-old girls online, but were actually talking to detectives. Johnson says they traveled to Santa Rosa County to have sex with minors.
“This should scare you to death if you have kids. You should monitor what websites they go to and stay on them,” he said. “They don’t have privacy while they’re in your home. They belong to you and if you don’t keep track of what they’re doing, this is what’s coming for them.
Deputies are still looking for Trevon Mitchell, who they say fled when they tried to serve the warrants.
List of name arrested:
- James Ray, 45, Pensacola
- Tristan Thrower, 24, Pensacola
- Andrew Walters, 29
- Patrick Bradt, 50, Crestview
- Terry Deer, 57, Fairhope, Alabama
- Zachary Frantz, 26, Pace
- Jose Leonardo-Ramirez, 30, Pensacola
- Anthony Martinez, 32, Pace
- Bryan Mejia, 22
- Erick Menchaca, 33, DeFuniak Springs
- Michael Preston, 40, Navarre
- Joshua Prows, 35, Milton
Scumbags like this — this is all they do. They’re looking for little girls and little boys to have sex with and they will travel to do it.
