According to an arrest report, the 46-year-old pulled over the victim for a suspended license and told her he turned off his body camera and then brought her back to his car to show her an order to seize her tags.
The report shows he told the victim he wouldn’t seize the tags and then complimented her saying she was “fine as hell” and asked for her number.
