Suspected Child Sexual Predator Struck by Thunder

Bedford Co., VA - Blue Ridge Thunder investigators have caught another man they say is a sexual predator. Tuesday morning they arrested 21 year old Dickey Ray Smith, Junior at the Wendy's just off 460 in Bedford.

That's where he worked, and Sheriff Mike Brown says Smith used the internet to make arrangements to meet what he thought was a 13 year old girl there. Instead, investigators showed up.

Sheriff Mike Brown, Bedford County - "I don't know what the look on his face was. It's usually the look of a deer in headlights look and they know at that point that boy the jig is up. Surprise, shock, anger."

Blue Ridge Thunder investigated Smith for roughly seven months before making the arrest. He's in jail without bond.

If you have any information about this case you are asked to call the Bedford County Sheriff's Department at 540-586-4800.
