On Sunday, June 17, a CCSO detective with the Special Victims unit made an
unanticipated early arrest of 27 year-old Reno Wolfgang, a man who repeatedly traveled
from Tampa to Citrus County to engage in sexual activity with an actual 14-year-old girl
who resides in Citrus Springs. The detective assumed the teenís persona and chatted with
Wolfgang for many hours. Wolfgang thought he was hooking up with the girl and her juve-
nile girlfriend for a threesome when he was taken into custody. The CCSO worked closely
with the Dunnellon Police Department on this case, which involved sex acts with a minor at
a motel and other locations.
Arrests resulting from the undercover operation began on Wednesday, with under-
