A Phoenix police officer has been arrested for the second time in three days, ABC 15 reports.

Three days later, Tucker was arrested again. This time, he was arrested for sexual exploitation of a minor. 

Tucker now has four open charges against him and his bond has been set at $250,000.

Tucker, who has been with the police department for approximately one year, has been placed on administrative leave as the investigation of the domestic violence incident continues.
