Man charged with lewd act

A Blacksburg man has been released on $75,000 bond after he was arrested for allegedly touching a juvenile girl inappropriately.

Assistant Blacksburg Police Chief Al Phillips has charged 35-year-old David Scott Cooper of 122 Brown St. with lewd act on a minor. Cooper was arrested Friday and released at 8:45 p.m. Monday.

The girl told her mother about the alleged incident immediately after she said it happened on Brown Street at 4 p.m. Wednesday.

Cooper's wife has cared for children in their home for approximately 10 years but the juvenile female was not one of the children being cared for, authorities said.
