A DeKalb County Police Officer was charged Friday with rape and aggravated sodomy for an incident involving a person in custody.

Jeremy Reynolds, 23, was arrested as he reported for work Friday. DeKalb County Police spokesman Jason Gagnon said the incident occurred last September though he wouldn't reveal any more details about Reynolds' accuser.

Reynolds, a DeKalb cop for two years, also faces two counts of violating his oath of office. Gagnon said his former colleague has been placed on administrative leave pending termination.
