(GoRealNewsNow.com) – Choosing to resign over his actions, recently released bodycam footage caught a San Diego police officer locked in the backseat of his squad car with a female detainee who asked him for sex.
Watch the video further down this post.
Officer Anthony Hair resigned about a month after an investigation began into the August 2023 incident. His resignation came a day before he was scheduled for a second interview with investigators.
Hair, who had been with the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) for two years, ended up in the vehicle with the female suspect after arresting her on suspicion of stealing a car outside a convenience store.
The suspect, whose name has not been disclosed, was wanted for car theft and had a bench warrant out for her arrest.
After arresting her, Hair was supposed to take her to police headquarters and then to the Las Colinas Detention Center in Santee, California, for questioning.
However, in the bodycam footage, the woman is heard propositioning the officer for sex after asking him if he was married.
“You’re not too bad. What’s it gonna hurt me if I work the system, you know what I mean? That’s the way I see s–t,” she told Hair. “Are you single?” she added, to which he responded, “Yeah, but you’re not.”
“I’m down to f–k right now,” she told him before he interrupted, “Don’t say that right now … Don’t say that right now because everything is being recorded right now.”
As they approach the detention center, the officer can be heard asking the female suspect what she is doing in the backseat. He later turned off his bodycam and slowed his vehicle as he drove onto a residential street.
About 20 minutes later, Hair called for another officer to help him out of the police car over the embarrassing mishap.
Hair and the woman denied anything untoward happened, as the officer claimed he was “checking” on the suspect in the back, while San Diego police found traces of semen on Hair’s belt.
“He wanted to get with me when I was done with the warrant or whatever I got arrested for,” she said.
