An officer with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department was arrested Tuesday after police said he was at a strip club while on duty.
Sergeant Michael Forrest was charged with official misconduct and patronizing a prostitute.
Prosecution Police said the investigation began after a tip was received, stating Forrest went to a strip club on the west side of Indianapolis on November 9. While at the club, police said Forrest purchased drinks for one of the dancers, paid for several lap dances and engaged in sexual activity in a private room with the dancer. Police said the entire incident was captured on the club's surveillance video.
IMPD said Forrest was on duty and in full uniform outside of his assigned district area.
ergeant Forrest's illegal activities tarnishes the IMPD badge, disrespects his fellow police officers, as well as the community he has sworn to protect,†said Public Safety Director Frank Straub. “We will not tolerate such behavior and will be relentless in the pursuit of employees who engage in illegal activity.â€
“Sergeant Forrest betrayed our badge and the trust of our community,†said Chief of Police Paul Ciesielski. “He violated the role and responsibility we placed upon him as a supervisor. We will not tolerate this type of action within the IMPD.â€
Police said Forrest is a 23-year veteran at IMPD. Forrest is suspended without pay until the internal administrative investigation is complete.

Sheesh!
Police said Forrest, a North District officer, was on duty, was wearing his police uniform and was driving a fully marked police car when he went to the Sunset Strip Gentlemen's Club in the 2300 block of West 16th Street.
According to a probable cause affidavit, the club's owner showed investigators video of the incident and gave them a copy.
Police said the dancer told them that Forrest paid her $5 for three lap dances and the sex act.
I'd like to know what kind of sex act you get for $5.
I guess we'll have to wait for the review to learn more.
Does sound like a setup.
"The video also shows Forrest engaged in a sex act while the dancer did rhythmic gyrations and shows that he later "physically handed her payment for her services," according to the document.
The dancer told investigators that Forrest had paid $60 in advance before going upstairs for three $20 lap dances. She also said she received an extra $5 after the dances."
What say you Brad's ?
