03/12/2006 - INDIANA, Pa. - A former police officer was charged with soliciting a sexual favor from a college student in exchange for not citing her for underage drinking.
Jason Emigh, 29, of Clymer, was charged Thursday with official oppression and false imprisonment.
An Indiana University of Pennsylvania student told police that Emigh her picked her up April 7, put his hand on her leg and asked what he would get in return for saving her $1,500 in fines.
The student, then 19, said she feared that Emigh would assault her, so she kissed him and bit his lip, according to a criminal complaint. She called authorities after returning to her dorm.
Emigh was suspended by Indiana Police Chief William Sutton pending an internal investigation and resigned April 29. A message left for him on Sunday was not immediately returned.
