TEXARKANA, ARK. (AP) — A former Northeast Texas state trooper, who is a registered sex offender, has pleaded not guilty to a variety of charges in Arkansas, including sexual indecency with a child. Travis McCrae, 45, entered the plea Thursday in Miller County Circuit Court in Texarkana. He’s charged in connection with a string of crimes on May 14. Police say he’s suspected of breaking into several homes – including one where he awoke a sleeping 14-year-old girl and molested her.
The Texas Department of Public Safety’s sex offender registry says McRae served two months in prison after he was convicted in 1991 of indecency with a 13-year-old girl. DPS officials say McRae was a DPS trooper in Bowie County for four years before resigning in 1990.
