TINLEY PARK (AP) — Police say they've arrested a 44-year-old man who thought he was meeting a 16-year-old girl for sex.

Tinley Park police say Matthew Whitlock was trying to arrange a sexual encounter after responding to an ad posted on Craigslist by officers pretending to be a 16-year-old girl.

According to a police report, he was arrested Thursday after showing up a Tinley Park restaurant where he'd asked to meet the girl.
