A viral predator catch by thezerggg in Scottsdale ended with an arrest nearly two weeks later.
Police say 23-year-old Xavior Vitela of Avondale had been communicating online with someone he believed was 15 and arranged to meet them in Scottsdale. Instead, thezerggg and his team were waiting for him.
After the confrontation, Zerg’s team turned their evidence over to Scottsdale Police. Detectives investigated, served search warrants and later arrested Vitela at his Avondale home, where electronic devices were also seized.
Vitela was booked on three charges related to the alleged attempt to meet a minor, including a felony luring charge. His bond was initially set at $100,000.
The case started with the encounter filmed by thezerggg before the evidence was handed over to law enforcement.
