A Martin County man is one of five people arrested in a child solicitation sting in Grant County.

Authorities say 28-year-old Isaiah Frye of Loogootee was taken into custody after allegedly trying to meet someone he believed was a 13-year-old girl. The sting was a joint effort between the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, Marion Police, and Predator Catchers Inc.—a civilian group that reports suspected online predators.

Police say Frye and several others traveled to a meeting spot, where they were arrested. The Grant County Prosecutor has filed charges against all five suspects, including men from Anderson, Elkhart, Frankton, and Marion.
