East Texas police are praising Whataburger employees for trusting their instincts and saving a teen girl from possible exploitation.
Texarkana police said in a social media post the employees at the fast food restaurant called police on Tuesday, March 14, to report a teen was eating with an older man and “something didn’t seem right about the situation.”
It turns out their “instincts were spot on,” police said. An investigation uncovered that 79-year-old Michael Clark offered the 13-year-old, who he reportedly “barely knew,” money in exchange for sexual favors. Clark had a previous encounter weeks before where he allegedly inappropriately touched her. On Tuesday, he picked her up while she was walking down the street and made the offer just before they went to the Whataburger, police said.
Police obtained a warrant and Clark was arrested and charged with Indecency with a Child and Solicitation of Prostitution on Wednesday, March 15. He remains in the Bi-State Detention Center on a $225,000 bond.
