Officer Arrested on Charges of soliciting a Minor



The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has arrested a Scotts Hill police officer on charges of soliciting a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Officer Jonathan Henley, 26, was arrested in Henderson County on Friday. After being booked in Henderson County, he was transferred to Weakley County for protection because he is a local police officer, a Henderson County jail official said Tuesday.

Henley is accused of sending text messages to a 15-year-old girl in May asking for sex, according to a complaint filed against him in Henderson County General Sessions Court on Monday.

Henley was released Sunday after posting a $25,00 bond. He is scheduled to appear in Henderson County General Sessions Court on June 10.

He has also been placed on administrative leave from the police department.
