Officer Deonte Lashawn Hamner of the Montgomery Police Department was arrested and charged with sexual assault after he stopped a man on a noise complaint on June 9th. According to the arrest report, he then forced the driver to perform oral sex on him at gunpoint.

It’s not actually clear in the account posted at KCTV5.com whether a real noise complain was made or if that was just used as an excuse to stop his victim. In the video (embedded below) at their site, they describe the incident as Ofc. Hamner having, “abused his power to take advantage of another man,” which implies that the latter might be the case.

Via WSFA12.com, the local NBC affiliate in Montgomery:

A Montgomery police officer has been arrested and charged with sexual assault of an adult male while he was on duty.

The officer, 27-year-old Deonte Lashawn Hamner, was arrested Tuesday on a felony first degree sodomy charge. He was taken to the Montgomery County Detention Facility where he’s being held on a bond of $60,000.

MPD initiated its investigation Tuesday (June 14th) after receiving allegations of sexual assault involving an on-duty police officer. The assault is alleged to have occurred after the officer stopped the victim’s vehicle relative to a noise complaint.
