Noble is charged with online solicitation of a minor.
According to an affidavit, a detective in Minnesota posed as a 15-year-old girl and chatted with Noble, who identified himself as a police officer.
Documents say Noble provided information about becoming a cop, stating “make good grades, stay in school and don’t do drugs.”
Investigators said he was later found with a valid TCOLE license in San Antonio as a police officer.
The affidavit states that Noble gave out his phone number to the girl he believed he was talking to, which ultimately led to his arrest.
