MARGATE, Fla. (AP) A South Florida police agency has fired an officer who was accused of seeking explicit pictures of a young girl.
Margate Chief Jonathan Shaw wrote in Officer Andrew Hammock s termination letter that he brought “shame and “dishonor to the department he had worked for since 2002. His termination followed an internal investigation of the allegations.
Hammock was arrested last March during a federal crackdown on child sexual exploitation when he solicited pictures from an undercover FBI agent who was posing as a girl, the South Florida SunSentinel reported.
