Knoxville, TN (WOKI) The University of Tennessee Police Department served active arrest warrants Wednesday on one of their own.
UTPD officials say Anthony Rizo, who had been employed by the University of Tennessee Police Department for just over seven months, was terminated from his employment for alleged actions taken while off-duty and in the state of Georgia.
He was taken into custody on two active arrest warrants out of Paulding County, Georgia for charges of Peeping Tom and Stalking.
“We have high expectations for the behavior of our officers both on and off duty,” said UTPD Chief Sean Patterson. “His alleged behavior does not reflect the values of our agency, and he is no longer employed by our agency.”
Rizo was turned over to Knox County Sheriff’s Deputies for transport to the Knox County Jail where he will await extradition to Georgia.
