WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) - A Wichita Police Department detective has been placed on administrative leave after he was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

Detective Brent Huhman was charged on Friday, Nov. 13, by the Sedgwick County District Attorney's Office, according to a press release from WPD.

Officials learned of an incident involving detective Huhman during the month of September. During the incident, officials say Huhman was involved in a disturbance with a citizen while off-duty.

WPD requested the Sedgwick County Sheriff's Office to investigate to avoid a conflict of interest. 

Huhman has been employed with the WPD for 19 years and was placed on unpaid administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal proceedings and an internal review. 

The WPD website lists Huhman as an investigator with the Exploited and Missing Child Unit.
