A Pinellas sheriff's deputy resigned Monday over a series of misconduct incidents, including allegations that he picked up a prostitute.

An internal investigation found that Deputy Robert F. Johnson lied to detectives about his actions on Sept. 12, when Clearwater police saw him pick up a prostitute. The deputy also violated agency policy by leaving work early and telling his ex-wife she was the subject of a drug investigation.
