TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WDNews) – Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the arrest of six individuals during a three-day undercover operation targeting online child predators in North Florida.
Operation Summer Hurricane was conducted July 10–12, 2025, through a partnership between the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), the Tallahassee Regional Operations Center Violent Crime Squad, and the North Florida Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force. Multiple sheriff’s offices, Tallahassee police, Homeland Security Investigations, the Second Judicial Circuit State Attorney’s Office, and the Attorney General’s Office of Statewide Prosecution also took part.
Those arrested include:
-
Jarvis Arteza Baker Jr. – charged with attempted human trafficking of a minor, traveling to meet a minor, obscene communication, and misuse of a communication device. He also faces additional charges from the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, including fleeing and eluding, reckless driving, and dangerous speeding.
-
Colbey G. Adams – charged with soliciting a minor, harmful communication, unlawful use of a communication device, and promoting sexual performance by a child.
-
William Jared Breski – arrested twice during the operation, once for failure to register and providing false registration information, and again for solicitation of a minor, promoting sexual performance by a child, harmful communication, transmission of obscene material, and unlawful use of a communication device.
-
Joshua Heath Lolley – charged with traveling to meet a minor and unlawful use of a communication device.
-
Christopher Edward Nabors – charged with traveling to meet a minor, unlawful use of a communication device, and transmission of harmful material to a minor.
-
Jose De Jesus Salazar Gomez – charged with traveling to meet a minor and unlawful use of a communication device. Homeland Security Investigations identified Gomez as a Mexican national in the country illegally and placed a deportation detainer.
“Thanks to the many law enforcement partners involved in Operation Summer Hurricane, six predators, including one illegal alien, who targeted Florida children, were caught and will face prosecution,” Uthmeier said. “Florida families should know that we will use every tool available to put these offenders behind bars and make our state the safest place in the nation to raise a family.”
Franklin County Sheriff A.J. “Tony” Smith said the operation was the first of its kind in his county.
“I couldn’t be more proud of our law enforcement officers, special agents, and analysts whose hard work made it a success,” Smith said. “Their dedication and teamwork led to the apprehension of dangerous predators who pose a threat to our community.”
Officials encourage anyone who suspects child exploitation to contact local law enforcement or report tips to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s CyberTipline at 1-800-843-5678.
