Man charged with solicitation

A Clovis man on Monday was arrested at a city hotel and charged with child solicitation by electronic communication device.

Miguel Garza, 26, was in Curry County Adult Detention Center late last week.

Court records show Garza communicated with an Air Force Office of Special Investigations agent who pretended to be a 14-year-old girl through social media.

Garza is alleged to have actively “sought a sexual relationship” with the undercover agent’s persona.

Garza was arrested after opening the door to his hotel room when the agent’s persona told him “I’m outside. Open the door,” court records show.
