Pittsfield — Resident Scott Clemons, 61, of 78 Bartelle Avenue, was arrested by law enforcement in a child enticement sting on Friday, September 19.
According to a press release issued by Berkshire District Attorney’s Office Chief of Operations Julia Sabourin, law enforcement involved in the sting were members of the Berkshire State Police Detective Unit assigned to the Berkshire District Attorney’s Office, the Berkshire Law Enforcement Task Force, the Massachusetts State Police Cyber Crimes Unit (MSP CCU), and the Massachusetts State Police Unsolved Crime Unit (MSP UCU).
Sabourin writes in a press release that at 12:30 p.m. on September 19, Clemons was apprehended at a pre-arranged meeting spot in the city and was taken into custody without incident.
