HPD officer arrested in undercover prostitution sting

A Houston police officer was arrested for allegedly trying to solicit sex during a sting operation in Fort Bend County, according to court records.

The officer, Danny Le, a 22-year veteran of the Houston Police Department who was assigned to the downtown division, was relieved of duty the same day pending the outcome of the investigation, according to police department spokesman Kese Smith

Le posted a $500 bond on Tuesday after he was charged with one misdemeanor count of solicitation, Fort Bend County district court records show. Reached at his home, he declined to comment.

The Houston Police Officers’ Union will not be representing Le in the case as the alleged offense did not involve his official duties, according to its president, Joe Gamaldi, who declined further comment.
