WKDZ reports former Hopkinsville Police Officer Daniel Gray has been charged with two counts of first-degree official misconduct. Gray has since resigned.
A criminal complaint says Gray was supposed to arrest a woman for violating her probation. Instead, he took her to a hotel and had sex with her. The woman told police she had sex with Gray multiple times in exchange for not arresting her, and Gray admitted having sexual contact with the woman twice. The incidents reportedly date back to November 2016.
Hopkinsville Police Chief Clayton Sumner said the allegations give a black-eye to the profession.
Sumner told WKDZ, "Officers in this department are being held accountable, plain and simple. When something like this happens, people tend to stereotype the whole profession, and the only thing I can say is when that stuff happens, you all continue to know about it, because I'm not tolerating it."
Gray had worked for Hopkinsville Police for almost 10 years.
