COLONIE – Police arrested a Greene County man on Sunday, Oct. 23 for attempting to meet a 14-year-old boy for sex.
According to Lt. Robert Winn, 51-year-old Michael A. Proper thought he was talking to the boy and the boy’s father online and on the phone about sex but it was really undercover investigators from the Colonie Police Department.

Proper showed up at 9:06 a.m. and he was arrested without incident.
A search warrant was executed on his 2005 Chevrolet Impala and his residence and investigators found digital media devices which were sized for further investigation.
