Tyler Exline, a 30-year-old Team Member at Epic Universe, was arrested earlier this week while on shift for solicitation of a minor. However, the “minor” was actually an undercover officer.

According to investigators, Exline contacted the teenager on Sniffies, a hookup website. While users must be 18 to use the app, no identification verification is needed. Later, they moved their conversation to Snapchat, where the deputy told Exline they were 14.

Despite this, Exline asked for nude photographs and wanted to meet in person, according to News6, but it never happened. The 30-year-old didn’t use his real name online, but investigators were able to identify him using digital warrants and facial recognition.

Exline was arrested on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at Epic Universe during his shift as a Team Leader. According to the news outlet, he faces two counts of solicitation of a minor, and one count of unlawful use of a two-way communication device, which are third-degree felonies.
