A Hays man was arrested earlier this month on a charge of sexual exploitation of a child.

24-year-old Jonathon Alexander Weigel of Hays was arrested on a criminal threat charge, according to Brain Dawson, deputy Hays Police chief.

Upon further investigation, police found that Weigel had allegedly solicited inappropriate photos from a 15-year-old Ellis County girl, Dawson said.

He is also now facing charges of interference with a law enforcement officer and sexual exploitation of a child, Dawson said.
