Parks employee suspended after arrest

KHOU-11's Jeff Mcshan reports the following disturbing news

A city of Houston employee who is suspected of being a child predator was suspended from his job Wednesday.

Thomas Randall Jennings, 55, works for Parks and Recreation.

Officials said he [was] caught on the Web, and police were helped by a group of Internet watchdogs.

Jennings was arrested and charged with solicitation of a minor Tuesday.

He was arrested at his home in Katy and is being held in the Harris County jail on $30,000 bond.

Officials said Jennings is also being investigated on child pornography charges by the Inspector General's Office.

Mr. Jennings should, of course, be considered innocent until proven guilty. And, given recent history, his job at the City of Houston will probably be waiting for him either way.
