Orlando police Officer Brandon Loverde has been accused of fondling a woman while he was working off duty at the Firestone nightclub.
Loverde turned himself in to authorities Wednesday and was charged with false imprisonment and battery.
The incident allegedly happened in a parking lot near the club. Loverde is accused of exposing the woman's right breast and then touching her breast. The alleged victim passed a polygraph test. The owner of the nightclub was shocked.
"I'm disappointed an officer would do that."
According to his personnel file, since Loverde has been working with OPD, he has won awards, received good evaluations and been praised for his excellent work.
One evaluation said he was "somewhat bothered" by people who are "disrespectful" to law enforcement.
Loverde has been relieved without pay.
