A 45-year-old Whitehouse man is facing serious charges after police say he approached an 11-year-old girl in a school parking lot while wearing only a diaper and a pacifier around his neck.
Tyler Police spokesperson Andy Erbaugh said officers arrested Wesley Worl on Thursday, August 7, in connection with the incident, which occurred on July 29 at Andy Woods Elementary School on Fry Avenue.
According to investigators, officers responded to a report of a suspicious person that day and found that Worl had allegedly approached the young girl and made lewd comments. The girl quickly rode away on her bicycle and was unharmed.
Police obtained an arrest warrant for Worl on charges of criminal solicitation of a minor and criminal trespass. His combined bond was set at $600,000.
Worl was taken into custody at his workplace without incident and transported to the Tyler Police Department for questioning before being booked into the Smith County Jail.
The investigation is ongoing.
