BLACKFORD COUNTY, Ind. -- Police arrested a Blackford County man accused of planning to meet a juvenile for a sexual encounter after a member of an online predator catchers group alerted law enforcement.

The investigation began on July 20 when officers with the Hartford City Police Department received a call from a self-proclaimed member of the Predator Catchers Incorporated who advised that he was with a man he identified as 43-year-old Shawn Dragoo at a CVS.

The caller said Dragoo allegedly arrived there to meet with a decoy he believed to be a 13-year-old after the two had been chatting on Grindr for several weeks earlier. When Dragoo was asked why he was there, court documents show that he admitted he was there to meet a 13-year-old while stating that he was "stupid in the head."
