PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 14 (UPI) -- A Portland, Ore., police officer has pleaded guilty to charges he asked two women to show him their underwear during a traffic stop.

John Alexander Wood, 31, who agreed to resign his post with the Portland police department, faces two years of probation and 100 hours of community service, The Oregonian reported.

The incident occurred in the early-morning hours of July 21, after the women left a nightclub in East Portland, the newspaper said.
