A South Jordan police officer has been charged with a felony and is accused of extorting his ex-wife.
Investigators were tipped off to what Jonathan Mangum had done, court papers say, because his body camera recorded him telling a domestic violence suspect about it.
Charging documents say Mangum, 31, used a compromising photo of his ex-wife to stop her from trying to get part of his retirement and pension. He did not appear to use the photo to get custody of the couples’ two young children.
Mangum was charged Thursday in 3rd District Court with second-degree felony theft by extortion.
