According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the deputy went to a home after receiving a call of a domestic dispute. A woman told the deputy that she was involved in an ongoing argument with Rogers, her former roommate, who was throwing items around the house, according to officials.
The deputy said Rogers reeked of alcohol and appeared heavily intoxicated, according to a sheriff's report.
Rogers later cursed at the deputy and kicked a chair into his legs, according to officials, who added that as the deputy tried to detain Rogers, he grabbed the deputy's genitals. Rogers is also accused of kicking the deputy twice in the groin.
After a scuffle, the deputy was able to handcuff Rogers, who was arrested and taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center for evaluation.
The deputy was not seriously injured.
