HOUSTON PARK RANGER DEMANDS SEX FROM OTHER MEN OR GO TO JAIL 🤬🤬

A Houston urban park ranger was arrested and charged early Wednesday morning over allegations that he demanded money from a park patron and threatened he would be arrested.

33-year-old Joey Lamar Ellis from Webster is accused of official oppression, a felony charge.

Ellis allegedly demanded money from Joshua Beede, the complainant, at Cullen Park in exchange for not being arrested, according to court documents.

Beede told ABC13 that he was sleeping in his car at the park when Ellis, who had a gun in his pocket, allegedly knocked on his window, threatened to arrest him and demanded he take off his clothing.

Beede said Ellis took his ID, demanded cash and help with luring others to the park, according to ABC13.

The Houston Parks and Recreation Department is aware of the arrest, Matt Musil, a spokesperson for the department said, declining to comment further.

Ellis was held on a $30,000 bond on Wednesday morning, according to court documents. According to his bond conditions, Ellis can not use or possess a firearm, and he is restricted to stay within Harris County.

He is set to appear in court on Thursday.
