A former Nashville police officer has been sentenced to one year of supervised probation after authorities said he participated in an adult video while on duty. Last week, Sean Herman entered a “best interest” plea in Nashville criminal court to one count of official misconduct, while a second count was dismissed, the Associated Press reports. The plea means he plead guilty while maintaining factual innocence. He also was granted judicial diversion. Herman was fired in May 2024 after detectives with the Specialized Investigations Division discovered the video and identified him by his police uniform. He was arrested the following month.
