A New Boston VFD Fire Captain has been arrested and charged with Indecent Assault and Child Grooming following a statement made by a former fire department trainee who was only 17 at the time of the alleged assault.
Luke Stephens, a captain with the New Boston Volunteer Fire Department, turned himself in to the New Boston Police Department on Friday in relation to the two charges and was transported to the Bowie County Bi-State Jail from where he was released soon after on a $60,000 bond.
The arrest stems from a Probable Cause Affidavit that was filed after New Boston Police investigated a complaint brought by the former fire department trainee, who was a minor at the time.
