An Alabama white police officer was indicted by a Lauderdale County grand jury Friday on allegations he sexually assaulted a female during a traffic stop Sunday, authorities said.

The Lauderdale County Sheriff’s Office received a call Sunday night from Crestwood Medical Center in Huntsville stating that a female patient told the hospital she had been sexually assaulted by a Killen police officer during a traffic stop earlier that day, the office said.

The FBI helped Lauderdale County authorities investigate the allegation.

The investigation showed there was enough evidence to present the case to a Lauderdale County grand jury, the sheriff’s office said.

On Friday, the grand jury indicted Killen Police Officer Jarrod Webster on charges of first-degree rape and first-degree sodomy.

Webster is being held at the Lauderdale County jail under no bond under Aniah’s Law, pending a hearing.
