A Connecticut school resource officer committed suicide shortly after he was arrested by his own department for allegedly luring a minor.
Ryan Moan, 33, of Coventry, was arrested on Friday and charged with risk of injury/impairing the morals of a child, enticing a minor by computer, misrepresentation of age to entice a minor, and tampering with physical evidence, according to the Manchester Police Department.
Around 1:45pm - just hours after he was released on a $50,000 bond - police in nearby Vernon responded to a welfare check at a boat launch on Hatch Hill Road where they found Moan deceased inside his car with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Moan, a sergeant who was with the force since February 2017, was recently assigned as the school resource officer supervisor for Manchester Public Schools, according to police.
His arrest warrant was immediately sealed by the court so the details of the allegations remain unclear.
Police said that the victim, whose age and name remain unknown, is not a resident or student of Manchester, adding that his charges 'are not related to him acting in his capacity as a police officer.'
Moan, a husband and father-of-two, was placed on unpaid leave on November 18 after investigators first got word of the allegations against him.
His cause of death has not yet been determined by the medical examiner, as Lt. Robert Marra with the Vernon Police Department said: 'There is no threat to the public and the incident remains under investigation.'

If all pedophiles did the same self justice it would be a better world.
You’d think the carbide lamp and pick axe would have given the miner away.
And if he didn't suicide himself, I'm alright with that too.
The only shocking part is that his own dept did anything. That is like expecting HR to do anything for humans.
Gaydar hiding in plain sight.
He better have been guilty or whoever put out the warrant needs to ponder the same.
Good point. It's dangerous to assume that people accused of crimes by our injustice system are actually guilty.
