A sheriff’s deputy from Indianapolis was charged this week with official misconduct and patronizing a prostitute (a national pastime) after a police sting caught him attempting to use his job to solicit sexual favors from women while he worked a second job as a security guard at a local gas station.
According to an affidavit, police began the investigation after one woman reported that the 25 year-old deputy had tried to solicit her for sex on several occasions.
The suspect had been with the department for 10 months and was arrested Sunday after police wired the woman for sound to catch him in the act.
Local officials stated that they deputy was heard on a recording offering to trade a pack of cigarettes and a soda for oral sex. (Sounds like she lost out.) The man has been suspended without pay, pending further investigation.
