DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Daytona Beach police say an officer has been arrested on accusations of groping a woman he was arresting. A spokesperson with the Daytona Beach police department confirms the arrested officer previously worked in Jacksonville.

Police told our sister station WKMG that the woman was arrested in a hit-and-run crash. But instead of taking the woman to jail, Officer Larry Jones, 22, touched the woman inappropriately last week.

The woman told police Jones pulled his patrol car over to adjust her handcuffs because they were hurting her. Police said Jones then told the woman he needed to search her again, put his hand under her shirt and touched her breast.

Jones was on the police force for less than a year. The Daytona Beach Police Dept. says he has been fired and arrested on charges of battery, felony false imprisonment and official misconduct.

Jones will be booked at Volusia County Jail on $7,500 bond.
