CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. \u2014 An affidavit reveals how a Chattanooga man used DoorDash to prey on a teenage girl in Florida and bring her back to Tennessee.<\/p>\n

Chattanooga Police were able to track the man down through his DoorDash account, leading to a traffic stop in East Ridge and his arrest.<\/p>\n

The affidavit says 28-year-old Michah Mosier faces several charges, including statutory rape and sexual exploitation of a minor. <\/p>\n

Investigators say Mosier met the teenager online and began forming a relationship with her.<\/p>\n

After the teen\u2019s family reported her missing, investigators say they learned Mosier sent her several gifts through DoorDash. <\/p>\n

The affidavit says Mosier started talking with the Florida teen on a voice chatting app, then began sending her deliveries from restaurants including McDonald\u2019s, Red Lobster, and Denny\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Dispatch audio from the incident captured an officer directing…<\/p>\n

\u201cGo ahead and stop that vehicle once you get up to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police later reported…<\/p>\n

\u201cI do have a female passenger in the vehicle.\u201d<\/p>\n

The arrest report says police found a missing 13-year-old from Florida inside Mosier\u2019s car.<\/p>\n

Police say that once the teen was reported missing, investigators checked Mosier\u2019s DoorDash account and used information from other orders to track down his address in Chattanooga. <\/p>\n

Police say a Flock camera later picked up his license plate in East Ridge.<\/p>\n

Vince Champion of the International Brotherhood of Police Officers says app-based data can be critical in investigations. <\/p>\n

\u201cAs it\u2019s progressed, we\u2019ve been able to narrow that stuff down. What they\u2019re purchasing, where they purchased it,\u201d Champion says.<\/p>\n

He says being able to track someone down can make all the difference.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime does become very valuable, and time is not always on law enforcement’s side.\u201d Champion says. \u201cThey\u2019re not going to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Online records show Mosier is expected in court in about two-weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. \u2014 An affidavit reveals how a Chattanooga man used DoorDash to prey on a teenage girl…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":420642,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-420641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=420641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/420642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=420641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=420641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=420641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
