The 31-year-old Muncy is accused of trying to trade drugs for sex with a female officer who was posing as a prostitute at a motel in Manchester. Andrews said the incident was videotaped.

Muncy was booked into the Coffee County jail, made bond and later released.

The Cookeville Herald-Citizen reports Andrews said he immediately fired Muncy after learning of the incident.

The sheriff said he's in the process of notifying state officials of the charges against Muncy in an effort to have him decertified as a law enforcement officer.
