(MSC News)--A St. Joseph, Missouri firefighter is on administrative leave after being charged with attempted rape of a minor.

KQ2-TV reports 29-year-old Jeremy Wigchert was arrested at a Saint Joseph apartment complex Thursday after allegedly going there to meet a 15 year old for sex.

Court documents allege Wigchert arranged to meet the teen through an email exchange. The emails, according to a probable cause statement, included explicit language about sexual acts.

According to fire officials, Wigchert is a 'pool' firefighter and was assigned to different firehouses based on need.
