JACKSONVILLE, Fla — The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office arrested one of its own Monday. Police say Officer Brian R. Pace bribed a woman who called the department in May to report stolen property. Police said Pace, who resigned after his arrest, responded to the call. After making a report for the victim's stolen property, police said during a news conference Monday morning, Pace, an 11-year veteran with JSO, reached back out to the woman telling her he recovered the stolen property and would give it back to her if she texted him inappropriate photos.
Investigators got involved in the case after the woman filed a complaint with JSO a couple of weeks ago. Police said a meeting was arranged between the woman and Pace, but when he showed up it was officers waiting for him. He was taken into custody, police said.
