DOJ: Man arrested in Knoxville, crossing state lines with minor [View all]

A man was arrested and charged in Knoxville by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with taking a minor across state lines to engage in unlawful sexual activity, according to a release by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Christopher D. Bruey is facing charges of transportation with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and simple possession/casual exchange.

In the affidavit, investigators were looking for a 14-year-old who was reported missing in Missouri on Jan. 27. The Joplin Police Department got the phone from a family member and was able to find Snapchat messages between the teen and Bruey.

Bruey was sending messages wanting to “pick up and marry the teen,” and was “concerned with being arrested but he trusted the teen,” according to the affidavit.

A “be on the lookout” (BOLO) was issued for Bruey. Knoxville Police Department license plate scanners alerted them to a truck at a Value Inn near Magnolia Avenue and Cherry Street belonging to Bruey.

Sleazy dude is 31 years old. Probably can't find a woman his age who will have any truck with him. You can see his pic at the link. Be careful of your kids.
