PANAMA CITY BEACH -- Police arrested a Panama City man for attempting to lure a cop posing as a child into sex, according to the Panama City Beach Police.
Richard Edman Philyaw, 33, is charged with traveling to meet a minor for sex and unlawful use of a two-way communications device. Police posing as a child on social media corresponded with Philyaw on an unnamed social media website, where he propositioned the officer for sex.
Philyaw later told investigators he believed the officer was a 13-year-old child when he drove to the Majestic Beach Resort for sex on his lunch break, according to police.
