A corporal with the Brookfield Township police department reported at 8:38 p.m. Wednesday someone was texting the captain of their fire department making sexually explicit comments.

The police officer had texted the Lisbon man back that he was 14-years-old and explicitly told the Lisbon texter to stop. However, after some time passed the Lisbon man still offered to meet the 14-year-old at Smith Oil and described himself as wearing a security shirt. Lisbon police found the man, wearing the shirt he described. They took him home and explained to him that what he had done was wrong and if the police in Brookfield Township decided to pursue it, he could go to jail or prison. The Lisbon man deleted the number in the presence of police and said it would not happen again. Brookfield Township police seemed happy with the remedy and did not indicate they were pursuing the matter further.
