Garrett is a member of the department’s criminal arrest unit and has worked for the department since 2006.
According to court documents, Garrett was awaiting the approval of a search warrant in February when he took a photo of the woman from the neck down without her knowledge or consent. He also allegedly zoomed in on the photo to focus on the witness’s pubic area, but then deleted the photo from the mobile phone.

The Internal Affairs Department learned about the photo after lawyers requested a review of body-worn cameras in the search warrant case. The division investigated the allegations and later recommended the charges to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Garrett’s police powers have been revoked.
