AZ Game & Fish employee suspected of 'child luring'

Recommended Posts

A former employee of the Arizona Game and Fish

Department has been arrested, suspected of trying

a lure a young girl for sex in the Verde Valley.

Yavapai County Sheriff's Office detectives arrested

Travis Foster, 45, at his Payson home on Oct. 27.

He faces charges of luring a minor for sex and an

aggravated charge of luring a minor for sex.

Detectives allege that Foster initiated conversations

in a computer chat room with a female he believed

to be 13. YCSO had been monitoring that and other

chat rooms since August. They claim Foster

explicitly described sex acts he wished to perform

with the girl. They also allege he exposed his

genitals to her over the live webcam more than

once.

The chats reportedly evolved into a specific plan to

meet in a Verde Valley park on Oct. 26. Detectives

watched the area, did not initially see anyone, but

then saw a man getting into an Arizona Game & Fish

vehicle. When they had the vehicle pulled over, the

driver was identified as Travis Foster, a Game & Fish employee on duty in an official

department vehicle.

Detectives let him go on his way but took the information provided during the stop to compare

with chat room investigation. They determined that Foster's driver's license matched the man

performing solo sex acts on the webcam.

The next day, detectives found Foster at his home and arrested him. He was booked at the Gila

County Jail. He posted $25,000 bond and was released pending court action.

According to Tom Cadden, public information officer for the Phoenix office of Arizona Game and

Fish, Foster was immediately put on administrative leave and he subsequently resigned from

the agency.

 

Anyone know of this predator?

Yikes, innocent until proven guilty, but it sounds like they've got a lot of evidence in this case. What are these guys thinking??? We've all seen "To Catch a Predator" and every time these guys act totally surprised. And of course they all say the same thing - "Really, this is the first time I've ever done something like this..."...Yeah, right...
