LOCAL MAN CHARGED WITH ELECTRONIC SOLICITATION OF A CHILD
An investigation into inappropriate communication with a minor in Wheaton, Ill., led to the arrest of an Andalusia man on Friday.

Sgt. Al McGraw of the Andalusia Police Department said investigators from Wheaton reached out to the APD about the communication with a 15-year-old by a local person.

The APD was able to identify him as James Earl Lang, Jr., 26, of Andalusia. After obtaining a search warrant, they found evidence that he had invited the 15-year-old to engage in sexual acts.

Lang was charged with electronic solicitation of a child, which is a felony, and distribution of material harmful to minors. He was arrested Friday afternoon and is being held on a $102,500 bond.

McGraw encouraged anyone with information about the case to contact the APD at 334-222-1155.
