A South Florida officer has been fired after being accused of soliciting an undercover sheriff's deputy who was posing as a prostitute.

The Boynton Beach officer, 32-year-old Vintyre Finney, made a deal with the undercover cop from Palm Beach County to get oral sex for $20, according to wptv.com.

"Whatcha looking for tonight?" the alleged prostitute asked, according to the Sun Sentinel.

“The decision to terminate someone’s employment is difficult for all involved but when it becomes apparent that an employee is either unwilling or incapable of maintaining agency standards, it’s a decision that must be made,” Acting Chief Kelly Harris said in a statement.

Finney was fired last week, about six months after the prostitution sting.
