A Connecticut police officer was found dead in a suspected suicide Friday hours after he was charged with enticing a minor.
Manchester Police Sergeant Ryan Moan, 33, was arrested by his own department on Friday morning and released on a $50,000 bond.
He was charged with risk of injury/impairing the morals of a child, enticing a minor by computer, misrepresentation of age to entice a minor, and tampering with physical evidence.
The eight-year veteran of the department was recently assigned as a supervisor of school resource officers for Manchester Public Schools.
Since November 18, Moan has been placed on unpaid leave as an investigation into the allegations against him proceeded.
Moan was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside a vehicle parked at the Hatch Hill Road boat launch in the Town of Vernon just before 2 p.m. Friday.
