DHS Official Arrested after Investigation

The deputy press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security was arrested Tuesday. Authorities in Florida say he used the Internet to try to seduce what he thought was a teenage girl. Brian Doyle was arrested on charges of use of a computer to seduce a child and transmission of harmful material to a minor.

The charges were issued out of Polk County, Florida. Doyle will be placed on administrative leave Wednesday morning. The Polk County Sheriff`s Office says Doyle had a sexually explicit conversation with what he believed was a 14-year-old girl whose profile he saw on the Internet.

The "girl" was actually an undercover Polk County Sheriff`s Computer Crimes detective. The Homeland Security press secretary said he could not comment on the details of the investigation. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has not escaped attention for strange sex stories before, after the first Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge retired, one nominee to head the DHS reportedly had a "harem" of sorts.
