An Army military policeman was arrested Tuesday on charges of el
electronic solicitation and attempted sodomy.
David Michael Overstreet, 33, was stationed at Fort Bliss, Texas, awaiting deployment to Iraq when a Spotsylvania County detective's investigation led to his arrest, said 1st Sgt. Liz Scott of the Spotsylvania Sheriff's Office.
A 16-year-old Spotsylvania boy and his mother told police last month that an Army police officer by the name of David had been contacting the boy and asked him for oral sex in exchange for money, Scott said.
She said after Spotsylvania police were told about the contact, which happened over MySpace, they got search warrants and seized computers from Overstreet's Prince George's County, Md., home.
Overstreet was arrested soon after in Texas and is being held at an El Paso jail while awaiting an extradition hearing to be transported to the Rappahannock Regional Jail, Scott said.
She said police are still continuing to investigate whether there are additional victims.
