The former teacher of a Brazil, Indiana private school has been arrested.
According to Vigo County Authorities, 42-year-old Joshua Dowdy of Clay City was arrested by West Terre Haute Police late Thursday morning.
He is charged on a Level 4 felony warrant for Child Solicitation and is being held in the Vigo County Jail on a $25,000 bond.
Dowdy was caught on a social media site last Saturday attempting to pick up a child who he thought was 13. The child Dowdy met was actually a decoy part of a sting operation by police.
After the video went viral, Dowdy resigned from his teaching position at Cornerstone Christian Academy.
According to Clay County Chief Deputy Josh Clarke, Dowdy could face additional charges once forensic reports are completed.
The investigation is ongoing.
