A senator from the state of Minnesota was arrested because he reportedly had asked a minor for prostitution in the police.
Justin Eichron, 40, was caught on Monday by the Bloomington Police Department after he reportedly agreed to meet who he thought was a 17-year-old girl to have sex.
The Bloomington police said that a detective had been agreed to meet him near the 8300 block of Normandale Boulevard.
He was observed in the area by Pick -Up and then arrested without incidents outside his vehicle by uniformed officers.
“If a 40-year-old man, if you come to the Orange Jumpsuit District, you can look for sex with someone's child, you can expect us to lock you up,” said Bloomington Police Chief Booker Hodges.
He was booked in the prison of Bloomington Police Department and will be transported to the Hempin County Adult Detention Center.
Felony accusations of asking under the age of 18 to practice prostitution are awaiting the office of the Hennepin County Attorney.
Eichron is a Republican Senator who was first elected in 2016, according to his Senate Biography.
