A Public Works operator for the city of Clifton, Tennessee, was arrested in Madison County on child sex crimes.

According to newly filed court documents, 26-year-old Hunter Pevahouse was arrested Saturday on charges of traveling to meet a child for an unlawful sex act, sodomy, and rape.

The documents specify Pevahouse is accused of traveling from Clifton, Tennessee, to Huntsville, Alabama, and then raping a 13-year-old in early September.

Pevahouse was booked into the Madison County Jail on bonds totaling $15,000, but he has since bonded out.

WAAY 31 confirmed with the city of Clifton that Pevahouse is a Public Works operator. We then reached out for the city's response to Pevahouse’s arrest, but we have not heard back at this time.

WAAY 31 will provide updates as we receive them.
