(Mineral Wells, Tx) — Mineral Wells police arrested a man this week accused of attempting to lure minors into his car in the parking lot of a local business.

The Weatherford Democrat reports 35-year-old Kevin Michael Miller, was charged with criminal solicitation of a minor and booked into the Palo Pinto County Jail.  Mineral Wells PD received several calls about a man erratically driving a gray SUV around the parking lot of the Walmart on FM 1821 and harassing customers.

While investigating that call, police got another call from a mother who reported that same man had attempted to lure her 16 and 17-year-old daughters into his car.  The girls told police they were able to take a cell phone picture of the suspect then get away and drive home.

Investigators say thanks to several tips via social media they were able to identify Miller, who was located at a nearby motel.
