New Mexico State Police Officer Bert Lopez was honored in July for going above and beyond the call of duty.  Now it appears going well above and beyond has gotten him in some hot water.

Now, he’s on paid leave and facing possible disciplinary action for an incident that has caused embarrassment to the department.

Images surfaced Monday  and were posted on websites across the country by Tuesday morning — showing him in police uniform having sex in during the day with an girl on the hood of her car outside the gate of a county owned facility south of Santa Fe New Mexico.
