Deputy Asks for Sex in Exchange for Ignoring Missouri DWI

Former deputy now faces felony charges seeking sex rather than ticketing female motorist for drunk driving in Missouri.

Jason King, a former deputy with the St. Charles County Sheriff's Department, has been indicted for allegedly asking for sex from a female motorist in exchange for not arresting her for Missouri DWI.

Following an internal investigation, the St. Charles County prosecutor charged King with a felony corruption because of the November 2007 incident. King reportedly offered to ignore criminal offenses of possession of a controlled substance and drinking and driving in Missouri if the female agreed to perform sexual acts. His attorney said his client was only using his discretion by not arresting the motorist.

King had been with the sheriff’s department for six years. He resigned from the department in January and moved to the private sector. King was indicted by a grand jury last week and he is out of jail on $10,000 bond.
