Aaron D. West, 49, was arrested at a Tallahassee Wal-Mart, where he was working after relocating from Bradford County.

Bradford County Sheriff Bob Milner said West had been communicating with two girls ages, age 14 and 15, in Manitowoc, Wis., since late in 2002. He was pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Lawtey at that time.

Deputies began investigating West after a detective from Wisconsin notified them that someone from the area was sending nude photos of a man and regularly communicating with the girls.
