Prentice said March 27, 2018, detectives and other officers of the Okmulgee Police Department and the District 25 Violent Crime Task Force established surveillance in the area where the meeting was to take place.
In anticipation of that meeting detectives tentatively identified the male as 28 year old Joshua Caudle of Okmulgee.
“Caudle was observed leaving the jail and was tracked from the jail to the meeting location where officers took him into custody,” said Prentice. At the time of the arrest, Caudle was still clothed in his jail uniform and was armed with a handgun and was wearing body armor.
He was booked into the Okmulgee County jail on charges of electronically soliciting a minor for sex, possession of a firearm while in the commission of a felony and wearing body armor while in the commission of a felony.
