A Mountain Home man faces an internet stalking of a child charge in Jackson County, law enforcement said Tuesday.

According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, law enforcement received a complaint about a man engaging in a sexual conversation with a 13-year-old girl.

Jackson County Captain Ricky Morales and the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office conducted an online investigation, posing as a 13-year-old female, which led to Roy Charley Parker, 47, arranging a meeting with who he thought was a 13-year-old girl.

Parker is charged with one count of Internet Stalking of a Child, a Class B felony.

He’ll appear in Jackson County Circuit Court today.
