🚨 A Queen City man has been indicted on charges that he tried to meet an 11-year-old girl for s*x in Texarkana.
David Walter Keggan Jr., 78, was indicted last week by a Bowie County grand jury on charges of online solicitation of a minor with intent to meet and possession of child po*******hy.
Police say Keggan showed up to a house in the 2400 block of 9th Street on March 18 thinking he was meeting a girl. He allegedly brought Vi**ra and a p***s pump with him.
When officers arrived, several people were already detaining him. One of them was Alex Rosen, leader of the vigilante group "Predator Poachers," which runs online sting operations without law enforcement involvement.
A search of Keggan's phone allegedly turned up images of child s*xual exploitation, according to a probable cause affidavit.
He has been held in the Bowie County jail since his arrest, with bail set at $300,000. If convicted, he faces two to twenty years on each count.
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
