An Ascension Parish man has been arrested and charged with trying to meet with who he thought was an underage girl in Livingston Parish, arrest records show.

Darryl Felder of Prairieville, was arrested on January 20.

Investigators say he drove from his home in Prairieville to Livingston Parish to meet who he thought was a 15-year-old girl. When he arrived, HSI agents were waiting.

Felder was arrested and charged with one count of coercion and enticement of a minor for sexual purposes. He’s being held on federal charges in West Baton Rouge Parish.
