A Mt. Pleasant man was arrested on September 21st by Des Moines Police for enticing a minor. KILJ now has more information.
Paul Miller engaged in conversation with what he believed to be a 14-year-old girl in an online chat room. He was actually speaking with an undercover Des Moines Police Officer, who posed as a minor. 
Miller made the 2-hour trek to Des Moines to meet with what he thought was an underage girl, with the intent of committing sexual acts. Instead, he met police officers who subsequently placed him under arrest.
