Police said during an interview for the officer's job Feb. 8, Price, 31, admitted he'd been out drinking with a woman, had a sexual encounter with her, then used his phone to record her, according to a report by WCHS TV.

Police later interviewed the victim who said she never consented and had no memory of the sexual encounter or being videotaped.

Police also said that Price contacted the woman after the interview, confessing to what he'd done, WCHS reported.

He’s now jailed on a $25,000 bond on sexual assault charges.
