Texas cop arrested after he allegedly strip-searched six women in 11 days, police say

A sheriff’s deputy in Texas was arrested after police say he performed unlawful strip-searches on at least six women in 11 days.

Floyd Berry, 49, was recently placed on administrative duty after several people came forward with complaints about the 18-year Bexar County Sheriff’s Office veteran, police said in a news release.

Officials launched an investigation and say they discovered that Berry had “unlawfully strip-searched” six women while on patrol in the southern portion of the county between Nov. 24 and Dec. 4, the release said.

Berry, who is part of the patrol division of the law enforcement bureau, was arrested on Saturday and charged with three misdemeanor counts of official oppression, police say. He was also placed on administrative leave and served with “proposed termination.”

Police are asking anyone with further information on Berry’s alleged actions to contact the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office Public Integrity Unit at 210-335-5110 or BCSOTIPS@bexar.org.
