Former Cave Spring Police Officer Patrick Earwood, is now facing additional charges, following allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman after placing her under arrest.

According to warrants at the Floyd County Jail – Earwood stands accused of forcing a woman to engage in sexual acts with him, in exchange for her release; that incident allegedly took place in the  early part of May (2013).

Earwood has now been charged with Aggravated Sodomy and with two counts of Sexual Assault in connection with the incident.

He was already in jail, after being denied bond for a previous arrest, where he was accused of the sexual assault of two teenage girls while he was on duty – he was charged in those incidents with Aggravated Sodomy and Aggravated Child Molestation for his actions with the minor – and was charged with misdemeanor Sexual Battery against the older teenage girl.

Earwood had been with the Cave Spring Police Department for over a year before the allegations came to light.
