NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV) -
Former Tennessee Highway Patrol
Sergeant Daniel Threet turned himself in to Nashville's Justice Center on
Saturday morning, after being indicted on charges of patronizing prostitution
near a school zone.
Threet, of Cookeville, had been
the subject of a Metro Police investigation since early February.
Threet, 45, is alleged to have
patronized a prostitute who advertised on the Internet on Stainback Avenue on
Jan. 31.
Police say Threet drove to
Nashville in a state vehicle and dressed in full uniform for the encounter.

Threet resigned from the
Tennessee Highway Patrol shortly after being placed on leave as a result of the
investigation.
His bond is set at $1,000.
