HOUSTON, Oct. 29 (UPI) -- Texas prosecutors said a former school district officer told a woman she could go if she let him smell her feet or handed over her underwear.

The Harris County District Attorney's Office said Cy-Fair School District Officer Patrick Quinn, who has since been fired, pulled over a woman at 3 a.m. Aug. 11 for an expired sticker and told her that her vehicle smelled of marijuana.

Quinn, who prosecutors said should not have been conducting traffic stops as a school resource officer, claims to have found a marijuana grinder in the woman's car.

The woman, who denied ownership of the grinder, told authorities Quinn put her in the back of his patrol car. She said the officer told her she could go free if she allowed him to smell her feet or if she gave him her underwear.

Documents filed by prosecutors say Quinn told the woman if she allowed him to smell her feet, "he was probably going to lick them, too."

However, Quinn apparently had a change of heart and told the woman to "forget about it," the district attorney's office said.

The woman, who Quinn allowed to leave the scene, reported the incident the following day. Her insurance card was found at the scene of the traffic stop and fingerprints on the card matched Quinn, prosecutors said.

Quinn was charged with two counts of official oppression.
