ARLINGTON, Texas — Arlington police said a former officer turned himself into Dallas police on Friday after a warrant was issued for his arrest for online solicitation of a minor.

Investigators said that Dallas police notified them of an incident involving Anthony Hickman, 42, an off-duty officer at the time, in the morning of July 18. Police did not release any details about the incident.

‘We are deeply disturbed by these allegations,’ Arlington police Chief Theron Bowman said in a press release. ‘We will continue to cooperate with the Dallas Police Department’s investigation even though Mr. Hickman is no longer employed by the City of Arlington.”

Ex-cop suspected of online solicitation of minor

ARLINGTON - A police officer who resigned from the Arlington force Wednesday was booked into a Dallas jail Friday, authorities said.

Anthony Hickman, 42, turned himself in to Dallas authorities after investigators issued an arrest warrant for him on suspicion of online solicitation of a minor, according to Christy Gilfour, Arlington police spokeswoman.

Dallas police said Hickman was caught during a sting operation initiated by a law enforcement agency in South Carolina. The investigation went on for a little more than a month, said Sgt. Jaime Matthews, police spokeswoman. Detectives believe Hickman communicated with a minor in a sexually explicit manner, Matthews said.

Based on information from the sting operation, investigators obtained a search warrant and confiscated materials from Hickman’s Dallas home, Matthews said. Hickman was being held at Lew Sterrett Justice Center late Friday with bail set at $25,000, Matthews said.
