FDLE began an investigation in November 2023 when Alvey allegedly began communicating with an undercover agent posing as a 13-year-old girl. He engaged in sexually explicit conversations and sent pornography to the agent, posing as a child.

FDLE, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, Homeland Security Investigations and the FBI served a search warrant at Alvey’s Pensacola home on Olive Road. They were assisted by the Florida Department of Corrections and the Office of Probation Services.
