Ohio Township police Officer Dominic DeJulio, 30, resigned Friday

A Pennsylvania police officer has resigned after a woman accused him of sending her a series of nude selfies months after she was stopped for drunk driving.

Ohio Township police Officer Dominic DeJulio, 30, submitted his resignation from the force on Friday, effective immediately, the New York Post reported.

His resignation came the day after he was suspended from the police department, following Allegheny County prosecutors' decision to withdraw the drunk driving case against DeJulio's alleged selfie recipient, Michelle Benninger.

The nude selfie saga began on August 25 at about 1am, when Benninger, 40, of Monroeville, Pennsylvania, was pulled over at a sobriety checkpoint in Emsworth, Pennsylvania, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Michelle Benninger, 40, claimed that DeJulio sent her six nude selfies over the course of several days, after obtaining her new cell phone number from court records in October

An unnamed officer had Benninger pull her car over, reportedly noting that she was slurring her speech and smelled of alcohol. An almost empty bottle of Corona was on the floor of the passenger seat next to her.

DeJulio was called on to perform a field sobriety test, which indicated that Benninger was under the influence, according to his criminal complaint.

A test would ultimately reveal that her blood-alcohol content was 0.117 — in Pennsylvania, the legal limit is a BAC of 0.08.

Nearly two months later, on October 19, Benninger encountered DeJulio again, when she waved her preliminary hearing over the drunk driving charge.

Benninger claimed that the day, DeJulio escorted her back to her car and admitted that he had 'drunk texted' her a few days beforehand.

She claimed that she hadn't received his texts and had a new phone number.

Benninger said that DeJulio then smiled and tapped the green folder he was holding, which she came to believe contained her new phone number, which she had provided for court records.

Benninger opted not to press criminal charges against DeJulio after allegedly receiving the nude selfies, preferring to have the incident handled administratively by Ohio Township police

Prior to his resignation, DeJulio was suspended for five days without pay and made to take a series of psychological evaluations, after which he returned to work as normal

Benninger said that about two weeks after her encounter with DeJulio, she received a text message from an unfamiliar number, which turned out to be DeJulio.

DeJulio allegedly texted asking her what she was doing, to which she replied that she was driving to work. He wrote back, claiming to be bored.

He then allegedly followed up that text with a picture of himself — naked — in a locker room.

Benninger told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, she 'just couldn’t even believe it,' when she saw the photo.

Benninger said that DeJulio proceeded to send her at least six completely naked photos of himself, in addition to sexually explicit messages, over the course of several days.

Among the images DeJulio allegedly sent were a photo of himself fully nude with an erection and a shot of himself naked, wearing just an earpiece in the police locker room.

Benninger said that she told her attorney about the nude pictures and was advised not to do anything that could potentially anger DeJulio.

She contacted the district attorney's investigations unit and the ACLU, and came to the decision that the incident should be handled by the Ohio Township police on an administrative basis because she did not want to press criminal charges against DeJulio.

On Thursday, the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office withdrew Benninger's DUI charge stemming from her August 25 stop.

In a statement obtained by WPXI, the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office said charges were withdrawn because Benninger had 'became a victim of the subsequent unprofessional behavior of the arresting official' and declined to pursue criminal charges against him.

As a result, 'our office did not feel it was appropriate to move forward with the DUI case in which she would've had to once again deal with that unprofessional behavior in the context of testimony on the DUI charges,' according to the statement.

'She's not vindictive at all, my client; she certainly feels bad, but she didn't ask for this,' Benninger's attorney, Patrick Thomassey told WPXI.

Prior to his resignation, DeJulio was suspended for five days without pay and made to take a series of psychological evaluations, after which he returned to work as normal.

'They should have fired him anyway, and not given him a choice to resign,' Benninger told KDKA, adding that she has fears of repercussions.

'I don’t think it’s over for me,' Benninger noted, adding that 'When someone loses their job, you never know what they are thinking.'
