NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — An Evans man who works as a high school athletic official was arrested in Nebraska after he traveled there to have sex with someone he thought was a 15-year-old girl, according to the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP).
Tyler Norton, 26, had actually been communicating online with an undercover investigator with NSP.
On Monday, when Norton arrived for the arranged meeting at a gas station in North Platte, he was arrested for enticement by electronic communications.
North Platte is located in western Nebraska off Interstate 80. It's about 234 driving miles from Evans, Colorado, where Norton lives.
A statement from the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) said that Norton is an active official in the northern Colorado area. They did not release information on what sports he has officiated or what school districts he has worked with.
He was taken to the Lincoln County Jail where he's being held on charges of obscene communication and child pornography.
