Ex-State Trooper, Teacher Picked Up
By AG's Child Predator Unit

HARRISBURG - Agents from the Attorney General's Child Predator Unit have arrested a substitute teacher and retired state police officer from western Pennsylvania accused of using the Internet to sexually proposition what he believed was a 13-year girl, transmitting a nude webcam video and then traveling to the Pittsburgh area in order to meet the girl for sex. The "girl" was actually an undercover agent who was using the online profiles of young teens.

Acting Attorney General Bill Ryan identified the defendant as Lawrence W. McElroy, age 61, of Tologo Road, Cooperstown, Venango County. McElroy is a substitute high school teacher in Franklin County and retired sergeant from the Pennsylvania State Police.

Ryan said that McElroy was arrested on Monday, April 25th, when he arrived at a predetermined location in Canonsburg, Washington County, where he had allegedly arranged to meet a 13-year old girl for sex - believing that the "girl" did not have school because of an extended Easter vacation.

McElroy was preliminarily arraigned on April 25th before Canonsburg Magisterial District Judge David W. Mark, who set bail at $250,000. McElroy is also prohibited from having any unsupervised contact with minors and may not access the Internet. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, May 3rd, at 1:30 p.m.

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly
