SMITH

Police arrested Christopher Todd Woolf, 45, of South Range Road, Salem, on two fifth-degree felony charges of importuning and soliciting a minor; and one count of failure to comply to a signal by a police officer, one count of carrying a concealed weapon and resisting arrest, all misdemeanors.

Police said Woolf believed he was meeting a 15-year-old female at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday but was met by police instead. Woolf had first sent the girl mundane text messages then began sending texts of a graphic and sexual nature. The girl gave the phone to her mother, who contacted police. Wolf, who posted bond, is to be arraigned.
