MOUNT PLEASANT, Texas — An Alabama man has been arrested in Mount Pleasant for sexual assault of a child.
Irvin Shell, 41, of Alabama, was taken into custody Wednesday. The Mount Pleasant Police Department said an officer was patrolling through a city park when they made contact with a car inside the park after closing hours. The officer reported finding Shell inside the car along with a male juvenile.
Initial contact with the suspect led officers to believe the juvenile was a victim of Shell's, prompting further investigation leading to Shell's arrest. He was booked into Titus County Jail for sexual assault of a child, online solicitation of a minor, and solicitation of prostitution of a minor.
His bond has not been set. The case is still under investigation and additional charges may be filed. CBS19 will update this article as we learn more.
