A former Jacksonville Police Officer accused of sexual assualt while on duty, is back behind bars tonight. The FBI says 33-year-old Larry Pugh was arrested last night, charged with Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Retaliation. The FBI would not say why he was arrested, but did say the assualt happened in Cherokee County. Pugh already faces five federal charges of sexual assault while on duty. Those alleged assualts happened last year. Before last night's arrest, Pugh was out waiting for his trial to take place in November. Pugh is expected to appear before a federal judge tomorrow. The FBI says it hopes to revoke Pugh's current $250,000.00 bond.
