A Texas youth baseball coach was arrested Saturday after driving to Shreveport for the purpose of meeting underage boys for sex.Here's more information from the sheriff's news release:

Christopher Scott Tyre, 26, of Center, Texas, was arrested in the 8500 block of Youree Drive at a location where he thought he would be meeting two juvenile boys and their father, Prator said.

Sheriff’s Detective Jared Marshall began investigating Tyre this past week after Tyre placed a publicly viewable online ad. Marshall responded to the ad under an assumed identity of an adult male with two juvenile boys, ages 8 and 12. Marshall and Tyre had several text conversations during which Tyre stated his intentions.

Tyre told Marshall’s assumed identity that he would be driving to Shreveport with the intent to perform sexual acts on the two juvenile boys after Tyre finished coaching a baseball team of 7- and 8-year-old boys in Center.

Following his arrest, Tyre was booked into the Caddo Correctional Center for computer-aided solicitation of a minor.
