A special constable is due in court charged with the harassment of a woman he knew over a three-month period.
James Mouzoure, of Taunton Road, Bridgwater is alleged to have used text, phone and social media messages to harass the woman between August and October last year.
The 35-year-old served as a special constable for Avon and Somerset Police. The volunteer role comes with the same powers and responsibilities as a regular police officer.
He is due to appear at Taunton Magistrates' Court on Thursday to face one charge of harassment without fear of violence.
He was suspended following his arrest, Avon and Somerset Police said.
