HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) — A Beaver Dam man is in custody, facing sodomy charges, after police say he solicited a minor online.

The Greenville Police Department say 60-year-old Thomas Woods contacted a juvenile through the internet and drove to the juvenile’s home early Saturday morning.

Following the investigation, Woods was arrested at his home later that day around 7 p.m..

Greenville PD says Woods is a former deputy in Ohio County and a former employee of the Ohio County Board of Education. Officials say Woods was also a previous candidate for Sheriff and “barely lost.”

  • Sodomy
  • Unlawful Transaction with a Minor
  • Illegal Sex Act Under 16
  • Use of a Minor in a Sex Performance
  • Procuring Use of a Minor by Electronic Means
