An Opa Locka officer is accused of accepting bribes for a painting project, according to an arrest report.

King Leonard, the city's construction manager, is accused of receiving illegal compensation or reward for his official conduct, police said.

The arrest report describes Leonard contacting someone and asking them for an offer to paint the interior of the Sherbondy Village Community Center. This person cooperated with the police.

The two discussed the project back and forth, and Leonard reportedly guaranteed the source the winning proposal if she placed a bid of $16,000 and King paid $2,000.

According to police, the bribe exchange was captured on video.

Leonard was arrested Wednesday and taken to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
