According to Chief Phillip Thorne, Sgt. Mark Fogarty was off duty in an unmarked car Wednesday night when he approached 25-year-old Trudi Foster and offered her a ride.

Foster claims that after she accepted the ride she was handcuffed and raped. She then called 911.

During questioning, investigators say the pair didn't tell the truth about what happened. And come to find out, they allegedly had consensual sex. Thorne was saddened when he heard the news.

"We're disappointed that he made this poor decision. It's on us as an agency, as a profession but it's not indicative of the type of people that we are," Thorne said.

Thorne says 36-year-old Fogarty is a 16 year veteran of law enforcement and has been with the Springfield Police Department for almost four years.

"As a police officer, the integrity issue, credibility issues, character issues, he's finished with this agency unfortunately and I can only wish him well," Thorne said.

Foster was also arrested and charged with lying to law enforcement. Both were booked into the Bay County Jail.

Thorne also said he is sending a report to a civil service board. The board will review the case and make its recommendation to the Springfield City Commission.

Trudi foster is no stranger to the law. Back in 2002 she was accused of killing her three-month-old son by neglect, but Judge Dedee Costello dismissed the manslaughter charge when the state could not present a clear-cut cause of the child's death.
