A report details the story of a chiropractor who was arrested for owing thousands in child support after a police officer posed as a patient in a sting operation.

Officers with the sheriff’s child support division had been pursuing the chiropractor since being notified Sept. 21 of a warrant issued for his arrest. Officers were told he owed $9,000 in unpaid child support. After staking out his clinic, an officer, posing as a prospective patient, asked to see the chiropractor. When officers saw that the chiropractor was in fact at his clinic, they moved in and arrested him.

Across the country, child support agencies are going to further lengths to bring individuals who owe child support monies to justice. We wrote in this blog previously about programs like the “Get Back On The Road Program” which offers an incentive for those with child support arrears to make payments. Some agencies have also started to post photos and information about those individuals who have failed to pay their child support.
