Ex-Trooper In Porn Star Incident Indicted

Charges Stem From Traffic Stop

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation agents on Tuesday arrested a former state trooper who resigned after a porn actress said she performed oral sex on him during a traffic stop.

The agents arrested James "Randy" Moss after a Wilson County grand jury indicted him on 10 charges related to his traffic stops. The charges include tampering with evidence, official misconduct and official oppression.

Moss was booked into the Wilson County Jail and later released on a $2,500 bond.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation began investigating Moss in June after an adult film star, Barbie Cummings, posted an explicit video of the two on her Web site. Cummings' birth name is Justis Richert.

Though she received a speeding ticket, Moss is accused of ignoring some illegal pills in Cummings’ car in exchange for a sexual favor. Moss resigned im May after Cummings said she performed oral sex on him during the stop.

Cummings, 21, wrote about their encounter on her blog and said in May that the trooper sent her photos and video he shot at the stop.

Her blog said that although she acknowledged having drugs she described only as "happy pills," the trooper threw them into the brush near the highway.

"I thought it would be a good blog story. (I thought) my fans would love it and they did," she said.

But according to her, receiving a speeding ticket wasn't the interesting part of the encounter.

"He ended up throwing (the drugs) out and not giving me a ticket for it, and I offered him an oral favor as a nice gesture," said Cummings.

She said Moss went to a secluded area and claims he later asked if he could tell his friends about her Web site.

Cummings said she believes that is what got him in trouble.

Moss was put on administrative leave with pay after an internal complaint was made against him.

District Attorney General Tommy Thompson said in June that publicity surrounding the case prompted other women to come forth with complaints about Moss, which the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the FBI investigated.

Prosecutors have said some of the women complained that Moss asked to see their breasts when he stopped them.

After a raid on Moss' house in June, officials said they took the hard drive from Moss' computer, cell phone and floppy disks. Before the raid, officials said they were reviewing more than 25 traffic stops involving Moss.

About half of the charges stem from the incident involving Cummings. The other four are a from a separate incident with another female driver.

His attorney, Jack Lowery Sr., said he plans "to enter a plea of not guilty to all the counts."
