Dasher, who authorities described as “seasoned,” was once named as Investigator of the Year by the Waller County District Attorney’s Office. He was terminated around 1 a.m. Friday, according to the Waller County Sheriff’s Office.

Dasher was booked into the Fort Bend County Detention Center before posting bail later Friday. His bond was set at $10,000.

“The offense of misuse of official information is in direct violation of Texas Penal Code Section 39.02, which clearly states that a peace officer commits an offense if with intent to obtain a benefit or with intent to harm or defraud another, he discloses or uses information for a non-government purpose that he has access to by means of his office or employment and has not been made public,” said Fort Bend County Sheriff Eric Fagan.
