An affidavit filed in Montgomery County District Court Wednesday says 27-year-old Deonte Lashawn Hamner is accused of forcing a man to perform oral sex on him at gunpoint June 9.
Department of Public Safety Spokeswoman Martha Earnhardt said in an emailed statement that police began investigating allegations against Hamner on Tuesday.

Hamner is on administrative leave. A phone call and email to Hamner's attorney was not immediately returned Friday afternoon.
