WINTER HAVEN, Fla.- A 33-year-old Naples man is one of 17 people arrested during a week-long investigation targeting online child predators, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said.

Larry Alfred Treharn, Jr. was arrested Sunday when he attempted to meet up with who he believed was a 14-year-old girl, officials said. Detectives say they also found a loaded handgun in his car.

Treharn is facing multiple charges including lewd and lascivious conduct, transmission of harmful material to a minor, and the use of a computer to seduce a child.

He has been arrested previously for attempted first degree murder, arson and resisting arrest, the sheriff’s office said.
