(KAIR)--A Weston, Missouri man is facing sex crimes-related charges after allegedly propositioning a 17-year-old girl while both shopped at the Atchison Walmart.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, in a release, identifies the man as 51-year-old David T. Holmgren who was arrested early Tuesday evening, just days following the alleged crime of July 24 which began a police investigation that led them to identifying Holmgren as their suspect.

According to Wilson, that investigation followed the girl reporting to police that she was shopping in the store when she was approached by a man, now alleged to have been Holmgren, “who attempted to solicit her for illicit sexual activity.”

Able to walk away from him, the teen sought safety from store employees, which then led to the report to police of the solicitation.

Holmgren, Wilson says, left the store, but turned himself in Tuesday at the Atchison Police Department where he was arrested for commercial sexual exploitation of a child.

Once in custody, Holmgren was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
