Broward Sheriff’s deputy arrested, accused of soliciting a minor

A Broward Sheriff's Office deputy has been arrested after he was accused of lewd and inappropriate conduct with a 17-year-old girl he met while responding to a domestic violence call, authorities said.

Jemiah Thomas, 35, was arrested Tuesday on charges of soliciting a child to commit an illegal act or engage in sexual conduct, attempted lewd or lascivious written solicitation of a minor, transmission of material harmful to minors, and traveling to meet a child after using a computer to lure a child, Broward jail records showed.

Thomas was booked into jail, where he remained held without bond. Attorney information wasn't available.

At a news conference Tuesday, Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony said Thomas had responded to a domestic violence call in September where he met the 17-year-old.
