A cyber tip

Tuesday, detectives with the Indiana State Police Internet Crimes against Children unit in Sellersburg arrested a 33- year-old Austin man after receiving a cyber tip about possible illegal internet activity.

Acting on that tip, detectives began an investigation which resulted in requesting and obtaining a search warrant for the residence of James Adam Meredith on Jack Morgan Road in Austin, Indiana.

As a result of the investigation and warrant, James Meredith was arrested for Child Solicitation, a Level 5 Felony, and for Sexual Misconduct with a Minor, a Level 4 Felony.

James Meredith was transported and remanded into the custody of the Scott County Jail without incident.
