SPRINGDALE (KFSM) – The Springdale Police Department arrested a man on suspicion of having sex with a 14-year-old girl.

Matthew Sides, 24, of Springdale was booked into the Washington County Detention Center on Thursday (Feb. 19) at 9:16 p.m., according to jail records. Those same records also state he faces charges of sexual indecency with a child, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and violation of probation.

On Jan. 8, a parent filed a report with the Springdale Police Department stating that Sides had been having a sexual relationship with her 14-year-old daughter, according to an arrest report.
