Tatlock worked as a school resource officer from July 2023 until June 2024, when he resigned after the 17-year-old victim’s sister reported him. The incident occurred during an off-duty fishing trip at Cataract Lake in Owen County.
According to charging documents, Tatlock picked up the student from the school parking lot after stopping at the Walmart in Spencer to buy alcohol.
Prosecutors will dismiss charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, battery and furnishing alcohol to a minor, according to the deal.
Both parties agreed that the sentence will not exceed two years. Tatlock will have to register as a sex offender and pay a $100 fee.
