YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - An on-duty Youngstown Police Officer was arrested over night and is being held in the Mahoning County Jail.

Detective-Sergeant Robert Lodwick was arraigned Friday on felony charges of illegal use of a minor in sexually oriented material and importuning.

Lodwick is being held on $100,000 bond and if he is released he will be on electronically-monitored house arrest.

Before Lodwick could be arraigned, other inmates had to be placed on lockdown because they are aware of who he is and have made threats.

Sources say Youngstown Police Chief Rod Foley immediately began an investigation and worked with the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, or BCI, to begin a probe into the allegations of misconduct related to a juvenile.

Prosecutors said the 14-year-old alleged victim was a victim in a case and said Lodwick, as an officer, should have been protecting her, not attempting to solicit her as alleged in the criminal complaint.

Lodwick, a lifelong resident of the area,  had been assigned to the Family Services Unit that often deals with juveniles and underage victims, but it's unclear if that's how he met the suspected victim.

The Mahoning County Sheriff's Office also assisted in the arrest.

Lodwick was ordered to have no contact with the juvenile victim and had to surrender his firearm. He is not permitted access to a computer or any other similar device.

Sources tell 21 News Lodwick has admitted to the crimes to authorities.
