On Thursday, around 2:30pm, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigations Division executed a felony warrant service at a residence located on County Road 430 in Dime Box.

24-year-old R. Manti Marzett of Dime Box was arrested on a third-degree felony charge for On-Line Solicitation of a Minor. 

He was then transported and booked into the Lee County Jail in Giddings.

According to Sheriff Garrett Durrenberger, the investigation was a joint effort that originated with the Decatur Police Department.

Then on Friday, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office executed a felony warrant service at a Residence on County Road 326 in Lexington.

Deputies had been at the residence eight days earlier for a domestic disturbance call, but the suspect fled the scene for several days.

He was charged with first-degree felonies for Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Aggravated Kidnapping.
