(KLZA)--A former Wahoo, Nebraska police officer has resigned after being accused of beating, strangling and possibly raping two women.

KOLN-TV reports prosecutors have charged 28-year-old Juan Ramirez, Jr. with an additional two counts of third-degree domestic violence in Lancaster County.

The new charges come after Ramirez was charged last week in Pawnee County with one count of first-degree sexual assault.

According to an arrest affidavit from Lancaster County, a woman contacted deputies on Sept. 23 to report a series of abuses at the hands of Ramirez. She called after learning he was jailed the day before in a different domestic violence case.

Two bonds have been set for Ramirez, totaling 10% of $140,000. He has posted bail for the Lancaster County case, but he remains in custody in lieu of a $100,000 bond in Pawnee County.

The charges in Lancaster County are misdemeanor counts, and he pled not guilty to both counts.

Ramirez had previously served more than 4 years as a Police Officer in Falls City.
