Police say the 23-year-old officer was involved in an inappropriate relationship with a minor. An investigation began back on Sept. 18 when police responded to a residence about a complaint of a possible inappropriate relationship with a minor and a police officer. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement conducted an investigation and identified Archer as the suspect.

Archer was arrested and fired today after only 9 months on the job.
