#ToCatchAPredator Man Shows Up For Romp with a Decoy Child Armed with Condoms, Viagra and Drugs!
This man looks like he's really thinking over his last few decisions in life and he very well should be!
Alabama officials arrested Blake Thomas Martin after they say he attempted to have sexual contact with a minor. The investigation into Martin began on August 5th when detectives say they were alerted to explicit messages sent by Martin online.
Deputies say Martin sent messages asking for sex and stated that he knew it was illegal to have sex with someone under age 16.
ABC3 reports that "During the investigation, law enforcement had received texts that were meant for an underage child," a release from the sheriff's office states. "Due to the nature of the texts, an undercover operation was conducted."
Last Friday, investigators posing as the child agreed to meet Martin for a sexual encounter. Martin arrived at the agreed location and was arrested by investigators.
"A search of Martins’ pockets revealed 3 condoms, one breath mint, one Viagra, marijuana, and one Oxycodone," a release states. "A search warrant was also executed at Martins’ residence in the 3000 block of Keego Road. During the search, electronic devices and Methamphetamine was located and seized."

Martin is charged with Electronic Solicitation of a Child, Traveling To Meet A Child For An Unlawful Sex Act, Unlawful Possession Of A Controlled Substance, Unlawful Possession Of Marijuana 2nd, and Unlawful Possession Of Drug Paraphernalia. His bond was set at $500,000.
We're glad this man is off of the streets but, we want to urge parents to be more adamant about knowing who their children are talking to online and what the content of those messages may be.
