Updated: New Jersey Man Arrested, After Allegedly Attempting to Meet Underage Youth in White Plains

Michael Madeira of Garwood, NJ was arrested and charged with attempting to disseminate indecent material to a minor, a Class E felony, after trying to meet an underage youth in White Plains . 

Madeira is a 43-year-old Garwood volunteer firefighter and proprietor of the Leather Supply House and Madeira Pipe Organ Service located in the old Aeolian Organ Company building in Garwood. 

Investigators from the Westchester County District Attorney's Office observed Madeira in online chat rooms, where he allegedly engaged in graphic discussions with who he believed to be an underage youth (the responder was actually one of the DA's investigators). Madeira allegedly made plans to meet with the youth on May 13 in White Plains, and was arrested when he arrived.

Madeira has since been suspended from the Garwood Volunteer Fire Department. He is scheduled to appear before White Plains City Court on June 1.
