WARRICK CO., IN (WFIE) -

Authorities in Warrick County say they have arrested a man for crimes involving children.

Officials say they got a call from the Yorkshire Drive apartment complex in Newburgh that a man possibly had an inappropriate relationship with a child.

Police say when officers arrived at the apartment complex, witnesses told them that 26-year-old Scott Shepherdson had been hanging around a neighborhood child.

Sheperdson has had previous arrests for crimes involving children.

After an investigation into what witnesses told them, Newburgh Police say they had probable cause to arrest Shepherdson for child solicitation and battery.

It was Shepherdson's third arrest for crimes against children in less than a year.

He was taken to the Warrick County Security Center.
