Off-duty officer arrested in undercover prostitution sting

Thursday, April 06, 2006

Texas City police arrested one of their own in a prostitution sting. His name is Christopher Marshall and he's now on leave.

Marshall was off-duty Tuesday night when he was arrested for solicitation of prostitution. The police chief says Marshall offered to pay an undercover female officer for sexual favors.

Texas City Police Chief Robert Burby said, "It just so happens that he was caught up in that (sting). We're saddened, here, all of us at Texas City and Texas City Police Department that something like that happened involving an officer."

Marshall was reportedly 'surprised' when he was arrested. Chief Burby says this is proof that nobody is above the law.

Marshall has posted $500 bond and is out of custody awaiting trial. He has been on the Texas City force for two years.
