TPD NEWS RELEASE:
On Sept. 23, at approximately 6:45 p.m., the Tallahassee Police Department responded to the Jackson Square Apartments, located at 1767 Hermitage Boulevard, regarding a check on welfare for a suspected intoxicated juvenile
Upon arrival, officers met with an adult male who advised the juvenile, a young teenage girl, was inside his apartment. The man, who provided his name, but a false age and place of employment, was quickly detained without incident as officers began their investigation. Additional responding officers located the intoxicated juvenile inside the apartment, and she was immediately transported to a local hospital for treatment and to ensure her safety.
TPD’s Special Victims Unit assumed the investigation and determined the man was 26-year-old Danny Moore, a sworn officer with the department since July 2023. A thorough investigation revealed Moore and the juvenile met on a mobile application and arranged to meet in a shopping center parking lot. After meeting, Moore drove the juvenile to a nearby liquor store to purchase alcohol before arriving at his apartment where they engaged in sexual activity.
