08.09.2006 - A former Galveston police officer has been arrested and accused of luring a minor on the Internet, officials told KPRC Local 2.
Austin police said Matthew Stanich was arrested at a north Austin restaurant where he allegedly went to meet a 14-year-old girl he had been chatting with online.
Stanich was arrested in part of an online investigation Austin police have been conducting for about a year, officials said.
Police said Stanich wrote the girl "I can't wait to hear your voice or kiss your lips."
The girl was actually a police officer.
"Mr. Stanich was pretty taken back when, instead of a 14-year-old female, he saw police officers at his car," said a spokesman for the Austin Police Department.
Stanich worked for the Galveston Police Department for 20 years and retired in 2003.
Stanich currently lives in west Houston.
Stanich has bonded out of the Travis County jail.
