ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — A former police officer has been forced to give up his certification for lying about his relationship with a woman he met on a call.
Daniel Hoover resigned from the Altamonte Springs Police Department before he was fired.
Police officials said it's not the relationship they were concerned about, but the fact that he lied under oath.
And officials said they won't stand for that because if he didn't tell the truth about it, they don't know what else he's capable of lying about.
Daniel Hoover was with the Altamonte Springs police department for about 15 years.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has taken back his certification and banned him from ever being a cop in Florida again.
Internal affairs documents show the officer was caught up in a love triangle with a woman he first met on a domestic call.
Investigators said he lied under oath about their off-duty meetings.
Records show the woman's estranged husband complained to police twice.
The first time, police say, both Hoover and the woman lied about it.
Later documents show she fessed up and when confronted with surveillance video and receipts to an Orlando wine bar. Hoover admitted he lied, too.
Hoover resigned before he could be fired last year and recently turned over his law enforcement certification before it could be taken away from him by the state.
