CLINTON TWP. (WWJ) -
Authorities say a 45-year-old man who used to be a reserve officer with the
Macomb County Sheriff’s Office was arrested after he solicited sex from an undercover
detective in exchange for drugs.
Raymond Alfred Selman, of
Macomb Township, was arraigned Thursday in the 41B District Court of Clinton
Township on charges of using a computer to commit a crime, accosting and
soliciting prostitution, and delivery/manufacturing controlled substances less
than 50 grams.
According to police, Selman
engaged in several online conversations with an undercover officer, during
which he suggested that prescriptions drugs be exchanged for a sex act.
The Macomb Area Computer Enforcement
Team set up a meeting with Selman around 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday at a
prearranged location. When Selman arrived, he was taken into custody. According
to police, Selman was in possession of Oxycodone, a prescription narcotic, when
he was arrested.
Police say it was only after
Selman was in custody that they realized he was a former volunteer reserve
officer with the sheriff’s department. Lt. John Michalke told the Detroit Free
Press that Selman was discharged from his position in the fall of 2012 because
of a performance-related issue.
A judge ordered Selman held on
a $15,000 bond in the Macomb County Jail.
