FORT WORTH -- A Fort Worth police officer arrested last week on accusations he spanked the rear of a woman he caught engaging in sexual conduct in a car in Oakhurst Park was charged with official oppression.
If convicted of that charge, a Class A misdemeanor, officer Craig Murrah faces up to one year in jail and a $4,000 fine.
Prosecutor Kurt Stallings confirmed Thursday that Murrah had been officially charged but said the case will also be presented to a grand jury.
Police have said that at about 1 a.m. on June 22, Murrah found a couple engaging in sexual conduct in a car at the park at 2300 Daisy Lane in north Fort Worth. The officer ordered the couple out of the car and placed the 18-year-old woman, nude from the waist down, in the back of a patrol car. At some point during the investigation, Murrah allegedly spanked the woman on the rear, police have said.

Official oppression???
The police officer treated a ho like a ho. What's the harm in that?

Not in evidence.
Namecalling is quite nice on your part, what would you call the man?
At eighteen? I was caught, too. You live at home & need somewhere to have some fun.
For goodness sake, they're just kids, barely of age.
What would be the point of the officers putting her in a vehicle naked from the waist down?
What did they do with the man?
Why is it that misogyny is so clearly illustrated by some people.
I guess you cant really say what youd do in a moment like this... but I suspect if she got spanked at any point in her life, it was then....hard way to learn the laws of DMV manual....
I agree with Chielgirl.
Have none of you been parking with your honey? Is it a thing of the past? I dont see a liget reason for the officer to put the half naked girl in his car, especially if he is letting them off with a warning.
I was caught once too Chielgirl. The officer asked me if I was ok and told us to move along.
....sounds like maybe the officer had ambitions to one day be accepted for a position on "The SWAT Team", and maybe didn't understand the concept?...maybe he just needs more training......or a "time out"...
At any rate, let's just hope the Department can "get to the bottom of this situation"....
