ABILENE, Texas –
The former Anson youth pastor accused of having a sexual relationship with an underage girl was caught because of a suspicious vehicle report, according to search warrants filed in Taylor County.

Callan Rice, 26, was arrested Dec. 28 for indecency with a child after confessing to the crime.

Court documents say police responded to a suspicious vehicle call on Dec. 20 behind the old Genghis Grill building on S. Clack Street. The officers found Rice and a girl under the age of 17 inside Rice’s truck. The child denied that she had any intimate involvement with Rice.

The officers found their stories suspicious and made a report.

The next day, the girl’s father told an officer he had concerns that Rice had sexually abused his daughter, court documents say.
