A 26-year-old Madison man faces charges after having sexual contact with a 12-year-old girl he met through Facebook, according to the Madison Police Department.

Police said the 12-year-old girl told a detective she friended Gustavo Garcia-Aguirre on Facebook a couple of months ago because "he seemed cool."

She said the two sent messages back and forth, and started to talk over the phone. On Sunday, Nov. 7, they met at a shopping mall to chat in person, according to police.

On Nov. 9, the two met outside of her MacArthur Road home on the city's Far East Side, according to police.

Police said the girl got in his car and the two drove to a nearby parking lot.

Early this morning the City Council passed the 2011 city budget. On three hours of sleep I can look back on it and say that I'll be happy to sign it later on today.

When I started my budget process in the summer, I set out three goals. First, protect basic services. Second, keep any tax increase to only what's necessary to do that. And third, accomplish those two things without resorting to budgeting gimmicks. I think the Council and I achieved all three goals.

Not only did we protect basic services, we expanded them. We added eight more police officers and a new unit focused on reducing crimes by repeat offenders, added a few more personnel in the Streets Division to help with various tasks around the city, and added another quarter million dollars in community service investments. There will be no cuts in library hours, parks maintenance or bus service and there will be no Metro fare increase again this year.

A 20-year-old man arrived at Meriter Hospital with a non-life threatening gunshot wound at about 4 a.m. Saturday, according to Madison police.

Officers said the man was the victim of a shooting in the 100 block of Swanton Road about 45 minutes earlier.

Police said the incident remains under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 608-266-6014.
