More information has been released today concerning the arrest of an off-duty Metro officer who allegedly hired a prostitute for $20.

Peter Hervoyavich, 44, was arrested Sept. 13 around 1 a.m. by undercover officers investigating prostitution in the area of Twain Avenue and Hazelwood Street.

According to the arrest report, a black female, later identified as Gevonna Carter, was seen getting into the passenger seat of the suspects’ silver Ford F-150 before driving to an apartment complex at 3955 Swenson Street.

Officers caught the two performing a sex act inside the vehicle, according to the arrest report. Hervoyavich and Carter were arrested around 1 a.m. and booked at the Clark County Detention Center.

Carter told police she had agreed to perform the sex act on Hervoyavich for $20, according to the arrest report.

The case is being reviewed and a criminal complaint has not yet been filed, according to the Clark County District Attorney's Office.

Hervoyavich was released from custody and given a court return date of Nov. 14. He remains on paid administrative leave. The District Attorney’s Office said if charges are filed, the court will most likely keep that arraignment date.
