Courtney Harris, 33, was arrested on allegations of sexual misconduct. IMPD says Harris picked up a woman and took her to an industrial area, where he raped her. Police say he was on duty and in uniform.
A spokesperson tells Fox59 News IMPD is calling for the officer's resignation.
Harris has served with IMPD for nearly 6 years. We're told he was part of a special unit called SLED that investigates violent crime in "hot spots" around the city.
Prior to these recent allegations, Harris did not have any discipline problems with IMPD. The FBI is looking into the case, especially the issue of Harris' authority since we would have been armed when the alleged rape occured.
No formal charges have been filed against Harris. He's in jail on a $50,000 bond. The Marion Co. Prosecutor's Office requested a 72 hour continuance before filing charges so they can continue to investigate.
The victim was also arrested, police say she was wanted on an outstanding battery charge.
