Wyandotte County District Attorney Mark Dupree says that Devin Rich turned himself in Friday and is being held in the Wyandotte County jail on a $100,000 bond.

Dupree says the person Rich solicited was actually an undercover FBI agent. Dupree says some of the communications occurred when Rich was on duty.

A court date has not been set.

Rich’s attorney, John Duma, said he would not comment on the case.

The Kansas City fire department said in a statement Friday that Rich was an eight-year veteran of the department and has been suspended without pay since April.
