    A Florida cop was arrested by his own department on Monday after he allegedly plied an underage girl with booze and then fooled around with the drunken teen who investigators found inside his home.

    Danny Moore, 26, the now-former Tallahassee police officer, allegedly met the underage girl on an app where they arranged to meet in a shopping center parking lot, the Tallahassee Police Department said in a news release .

    Moore then drove the minor to a nearby liquor store where he bought her booze before taking her to his apartment and engaging in sexual activity, police said.

    Authorities said they responded to Jackson Square Apartments Monday evening to investigate reports of a suspected intoxicated juvenile.

    Moore provided officers with his name but a false age and occupation before admitting that the teenage girl was inside his apartment, according to police. Officers then located the intoxicated minor and took her to a local hospital for treatment.
