Mason County Sex Crimes Arrest

Posted: Updated:

Police arrested a Mason County man for sex crimes on Wednesday night.

Thomas Battice of Custer was arrested on a three count warrant for sex crimes of the first degree.

The investigation began in July 2012 after police received a complaint.

Police say the victim was 11 at the time of the complaint, but the abuse had been going on for five to six years before the complaint was made.

The Mason County Sheriffs Department says parents need to keep an eye on their kids and who they are hanging out with.
