Abilene police arrest man with Dyess AFB address for child sex crime
A man with a Dyess Air Force Base address was arrested Monday for an alleged child sex crime, Abilene police said in a news release.
Eleno Garcia Silva, III, 32, was charged with second-degree felony sexual assault of a child following an investigation that began after the juvenile victim made an outcry, the release said.
Abilene police detectives worked with U.S. Air Force special investigators "to secure the arrest," the release said.
Silva is in the Taylor County Jail, and his bond has been set at $30,000, according to jail records.
Dyess AFB officials declined to confirm if Silva was stationed at the base or if he was arrested at the facility, but issued a statement:
"Dyess officials are aware of the arrest. These are serious accusations, and not in line with U.S. Air Force or Team Dyess standards. Dyess AFB will continue to cooperate with investigative authorities on this matter."
