During a high-intensity three-day sting ending April 23, 2026, the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office and Prosecutor’s Office arrested 19 men for child solicitation. The operation involved agencies from Franklin, Bargersville, Greenfield, and Westfield to catch suspects using the internet to target minors. The men, ranging from 19 to 68 years old, traveled from various Indiana cities and even Florida to meet who they believed were children, only to be met by undercover officers.
The suspects facing preliminary Level 4 felony charges include Axel Aguilar-Cuchillo (19, Indianapolis), Donald Maxwell Mills (34, Indianapolis), Christian Elijah Paul Cheek (23, Indianapolis), and Kaden James Beil (20, Indianapolis). Other Indianapolis residents arrested were Keshon M. Hardister (25), Oluwagbemiga K. Agbeja (45), Garnold Lee (53), Dwayne Anthony Marshall (43), and Yousef Mohamad (45). From other Indiana towns, police detained Brandon Thomas Jones (38, Greenwood), Matthew Ryan Wood (29, Franklin), James Joseph Moore (24, Mooresville), Robert Steven White (68, Spencer), and James P. Huser (63, Bloomington).
Additional arrests included Jeremy Wayne Hall (47, Shelbyville), Caleen P. Hudson (41, Plainfield), Mandeep Singh (32, Fishers), and Jacob Andrew Long (30, Fortville). Notably, James Michael Grier (45) traveled from Tampa, Florida, for a meeting. Beyond child solicitation, several men face extra charges for possessing methamphetamine, marijuana, or distributing obscene material. Sheriff Duane Burgess emphasized that these stings have led to over 100 arrests since 2022, signaling a relentless stance against those attempting to exploit children in the community.
