Polk County deputies said he claimed he pleasured himself “for the thrill” and that he “did something stupid.”

“This vulgar and indecent behavior by one of our now former agency members is completely unacceptable, not to mention illegal,” Sheriff Grady Judd said. “We will never tolerate such immoral and illegal conduct. That is why he was promptly arrested.”

Williams was booked at the jail on Sunday on a $1,000 bond.
