GARRETSON, S.D. (AP) - The business manager for the Garretson School District is accused of soliciting a minor.
Fifty-eight-year-old Rodney Fischer was arrested Tuesday at the district office. He’s scheduled to make his first court appearance Thursday afternoon.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Fischer had an attorney, and a home telephone listing for him couldn’t be found.
Superintendent Guy Johnson says Fischer remains employed with the school district.
Court documents show that a special agent with Homeland Security in Sioux Falls received a tip from the agency’s San Jose, California, office that an undercover agent had talked with a Sioux Falls man interested in having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Authorities say Fischer sent sexually explicit messages to someone he thought was a 13-year-old girl.
Fischer is being held on $500,000 bond.
