Texas police chief arrested for soliciting sex from minor!

A Texas police chief was arrested on Thursday after he allegedly solicited sex from a minor, according to officials in Arlington.

Police Chief Will Johnson was taken into custody after an undercover operation in which he allegedly offered to pay for sex with a 16-year-old girl, officials said.

Johnson, who has been chief of the Arlington Police Department since 2014, was placed on leave following his arrest.

"The Arlington Police Department is aware that Chief Will Johnson was arrested today by the Greenville Police Department," the department said in a statement. "He has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation."

Johnson's arrest comes as the department is already under scrutiny for its handling of a recent officer-involved shooting. Earlier this month, an Arlington police officer fatally shot an unarmed black man who was trying to flee a traffic stop. That incident is still under investigation.
