A Tennessee police officer has been arrested for allegedly appearing in an “adult video” while on duty.
Sean Herman, a former Metropolitan Nashville police officer, was arrested on Wednesday on charges of felony official misconduct, according to a department news release on Thursday.
Herman, 33, was fired on May 9, one day after detectives identified him as the man shown from the chest down, wearing a department uniform, in a video on OnlyFans.
Nashville police Chief John Drake ordered detectives to continue investigating after Herman’s dismissal, which led to an indictment. Herman was released from jail early Friday morning after posting bond, according to jail records.
Online court records do not list an attorney for Herman, and USA TODAY could not immediately find a phone number for him.
‘Mock Traffic Stop’ Recreated on OnlyFans
Herman, who had been with the department for three years, participated in a mock traffic stop in an OnlyFans skit, during which he groped the exposed breast of the female driver, according to the department.
The video was filmed in late April on a day when Herman was supposed to be patrolling the Madison precinct. Instead, he was making an OnlyFans video in a warehouse parking lot, police said.
