Lake City - Police in Lake City say a 24-year-old man traveling across Arkansas and preaching has been arrested for sexual indecency with a child and Internet stalking.

Saffell says the person was an undercover Alexander police detective.
Ellis is being held in the Saline County jail, and scheduled to be in court Wednesday for a bond hearing.
