Lawsuit Claims Illegal Strip Search by Utah Deputy

A Box Elder County (Utah) Sheriff's deputy who was terminated in March allegedly conducted an illegal strip search of an 18-year-old woman, who has filed a civil lawsuit against him.

Tamsen Reid, 18, is claiming Dep. Scott R. Womack forced her to strip, show her breasts, and stand in the snow during a traffic stop on Nov. 20, 2010.

Womack was terminated from the sheriff's office on March 10. He had worked as a deputy since 1997.
