DALLAS, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- A Dallas cop featured on A&E cable TV series "Dallas Swat" has been fired after investigators accused him of having sex with a prostitute.

Investigators claimed Senior Cpl. Johnny Baker, who had been with the department for 17 years, had sex with a prostitute in a Garland, Texas, motel room in February while he was working an off-duty job, the Dallas Morning News reported Wednesday.

"All of the circumstances of these allegations are very troublesome," Police Chief David Kunkle told the newspaper. "There's a variety of things that he did to violate the public trust."

Baker has denied paying for sexual favors and all other wrongdoing.

A woman claimed Baker paid her for sexual contact during the 18 minutes they spent together in a motel room police detectives had followed them to. She said he paid her for sex on one previous occasion, the Morning News article said.
