ABILENE, Texas — The Abilene Police Department said Tuesday its Special Victims Unit detectives arrested Eleno Silva III, 32, on an outstanding warrant for second-degree felony sexual assault of a child.
The APD said detectives worked with United States Air Force special investigators to secure Silva's arrest. Detectives began investigating after an outcry was made by a juvenile.
Silva is being held in the Taylor County Jail with bond set at $30,000.
In an email, Dyess AFB 7th Bomb Wing Public Affairs said, "Dyess officials are aware of the arrest. These are serious accusations, and not in line with US Air Force or Team Dyess standards. Dyess AFB will continue to cooperate with investigative authorities on this matter."
No further details were available from the Abilene Police Department.
