Former APD Officer Scott Lando has been indicted by the Travis County Grand Jury on several different felony charges. He was fired from the force earlier this year after APD officials determined he had repeatedly hired prostitutes, provided women with drugs, and even paid a woman for sex by giving her some of his wife's clothes.

The grand jury indicted Lando on charges of aggravated assault by a public servant, misuse of official information, delivery of a controlled substance, and prostitution. He could face up to life in prison if convicted of the most serious charges.

"This is not off-duty, casual misconduct in our view," Assistant Chief David Carter said last month when the department announced Lando was being put on indefinite suspension. "We recognize that it is a breach of the public's trust."
