McKINNEY, Texas – The Collin County The Sheriff’s Office arrested six men in late October for allegedly soliciting minors online.

The sheriff’s office said the arrests were part of an undercover “Operation Safe Halloween” initiative that targets individuals who use the Internet to exploit children.

Agents worked with the Texas Department of Public Safety and several other local law enforcement agencies to arrest six men from October 22 to 24.

Among them Zachary Alldredge, Robert Gomez, Juan Gomez, Ryan Blalock-Seba, Henry Gilbert and David Villines.

Officers also obtained arrest warrants for four additional suspects whose names and photos have not yet been released.

“The success of this operation reflects the Collin County Sheriff’s Office’s ongoing commitment to protecting children and holding offenders accountable,” the department said in a news release.

All suspects were charged with online solicitation of a minor.
