An arrest warrant affidavit states that in December, Snapp sent a friend request to the undercover officer on the social media site Mocospace, believing the officer was an underage girl.
He “almost immediately sent his phone number” to the undercover officer and asked to call or text, the affidavit states.
Police said Snapp sent explicit messages, illustrations and photos to the officer.
A warrant for this arrest was issued on Wednesday.
