A police officer in Miami Beach has been relieved of duty after a risqué video showed him with three lingerie models walking outside the department's headquarters.
The video, making rounds on social media, showed 11-year veteran Officer William Beeker walking behind the models up the steps of the building on Washington Avenue, with all three in handcuffs at the time.
In a statement, Miami Beach Police say that Beeker was relieved of duty Tuesday as their investigation continues into the case.
"It is disgusting that a representative of the Miami Beach Police Department, and the City as a whole, would choose to participate in this distasteful video," city manager Jimmy Morales said in a statement. "He has made a mockery of the men and women of the MBPD who work hard each day to serve and protect our community."
Officials did not say if Beeker was on duty at the time of the video shoot and if he was paid by the producers to appear.
