04/11/2006 - A Montgomery police officer was arrested Monday in connection with sexual abuse and sodomy charges, police said.
Cpl. Samuel Spencer, 42, was arrested and charged with first-degree sexual abuse and first-degree sodomy.
Spencer, a four-year veteran of the department, was transferred from the juvenile division to administrative duties after authorities learned he may have been involved in illegal activities.
"The charges against Cpl. Spencer involve juveniles with which he had personal associations prior to becoming a Montgomery police officer," Chief Arthur Baylor said in a news release.
Baylor said they have evidence that indicates the alleged abuse incident occurred about 10 years ago and the alleged sodomy incident took place in September.
Spencer resigned from the department Monday while being questioned by Internal Affairs investigators, according to the release.
Spencer was placed in the Montgomery County Detention Facility on a $30,000 bond.
