GONZALES - A police officer was cited and issued a summons for reportedly sending anonymous texts of a harassing nature. 

The Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office said deputies began receiving complaints about the text messages as early as September. After a months-long investigation in which deputies executed multiple search warrants, detectives found the texts were from a phone belonging to Officer Duane Carpenter with the Gonzales Police Department. 

Thursday, Carpenter was issued a misdemeanor summons for four counts of improper telephone communication.
