When Blevins arrived at the meeting location, he was taken into custody by Detective Scudder, Patrol Captain Mundt, and Patrol Officer Perry. 

Dusty Blevins faces initial charges of attempted sexual misconduct with a minor (Level 5 felony), child solicitation (level 5 felony), and dissemination of material harmful to a minor (Level 6 felony).
