RESERVE — A St. John the Baptist Parish man was arrested after police said he showed a picture of male genitalia to a 14-year-old girl.

St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff Mike Tregre said deputies arrested Hollis Braxton, 40, of Marigold Street in Mt. Airy at at 1:23 p.m. Thursday.

Braxton was arrested in Reserve near the intersection of Railroad Avenue and Beech Grove Drive on an arrest warrant.

“On Nov. 28, deputies received a complaint that Hollis Braxton showed a 14-year-old girl a picture on his cell phone of an adult male’s private,” Tregre said. “He told her not to tell anyone.

“The incident occurred at a friend’s house, who was a relative of Braxton. After a thorough investigation, detectives sought and obtained a judicial court ordered arrest warrant for Braxton.”

Braxton was booked with indecent behavior with a juvenile. He remains in custody in lieu of a $25,000 bond.
