Over two years of videos could be evidence in the trial of former Jordan police officer Corey Pudwill.

Pudwill and his lawyer Paul Engh were in court this morning to hear the judges decision on whether or not two years’ worth of tapes from Pudwill’s squad car were admissible as evidence in the case.

Pudwill is charged with criminal sexual conduct after a traffic stop during which a woman alleges he ordered her into the back of his squad car and touched the bra under her sweater.

Engh said the judge will be issuing an order for the tapes to be made available to the defense next week. The motion hearing was continued until June 26 to allow time to view the tapes, Engh said.

The tapes will help establish a pattern in Pudwill’s traffic stop history, Engh said.

“His habit was to treat all female arrestees in the same fashion,” Engh said.

The tapes will show that there is no history of sexual behavior from Pudwill, Engh said.

The prosecution in the case resisted allowing the tapes as evidence because of concerns over data privacy, Engh said.

Pudwill is a former Jordan Police Department officer of the year. According to the criminal complaint, he allegedly initiated sexual contact with a 19-year-old woman during a traffic stop along Highway 169 in August 2006.

The camera in Pudwill’s car was either turned off during the incident of the tape had been erased, according to the complaint. Pudwill told investigators that he had been having problems with the camera earlier.

Pudwill was fired for violating a city policy and not for any alleged criminal conduct. Any appeal of the firing has been delayed until the criminal case is decided.
