A former Tucson police officer pleaded guilty Wednesday to attempted unlawful sexual conduct as a police officer, according to Krisanne LoGalbo, a spokeswoman for Pima County Superior Court.
Richard Daniel was arrested Jan. 20 after a couple filed a complaint saying while on duty, Daniel had traded a sex-act with the woman for not arresting her on an outstanding warrant.
After the couple filed the complaint, detectives found Daniel’s DNA in their apartment, according to a search warrant in the case.
Daniel had been with the department for three years.
Assistant Chief of Police Carla Johnson told the ĂŰĚŇÓ°ĎńAV in January it was the only such complaint against Daniel.
Daniel is scheduled to be sentenced June 17.
