A south Alabama man was one of multiple suspects arrested as part of a Florida child predator sting operation, according to Polk County, Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd.
George Elec Matthews, 58, of Ozark, is charged with one count of use of a two-way communication device to commit a felony and two counts of transmission of material harmful to a minor. According to Judd, Matthews worked at Fort Rucker in Dale County.
Judd said a total of 12 suspects were arrested in the operation, with Matthews being the only one from Alabama. Matthews sent obscene photos to the undercover detective and told her he wanted to visit her in Florida after he “got some stuff straight” in Alabama, the sheriff said. He also reportedly revealed to the undercover detective that he works for a military contractor supporting helicopter flight training.
