Courtesy of Huffington Post Weird News, we bring you the following eight comical (and not comical) examples of the “men in blue” behaving badly. Cause for concern or mere incompetence? Or a little of each? You decide and let us know.
Police Officer Arrested for Ripping Off Cocaine
Ludlow Massachusetts Police Officer Thomas Foye was arrested on August 15, 2013, for allegedly stealing a substance from a police evidence locker that field tested positive for cocaine. Foye, 49, was booked on charges of theft of drugs from a depository and possession of a class B substance. Foye entered a not guilty plea at his arraignment before Palmer District Court Judge Patricia T. Poehler and was released without bail, under the conditions that he undergo a substance abuse evaluation and submit to random drug screens
Former Sergeant Paid for Phony Investigations
Jim Deeghan, a former sergeant with the Vermont State Police, pleaded not guilty to two counts of false swearing (creating crimes out of whole cloth). Prosecutor T.J. Donovan called it a “crime of opportunity,” saying Deeghan reported responding to two car crashes and a false alarm but none of the incidents happened. Last year, Deeghan was paid about $136,000, about $56,000 more than his base pay, although a trooper can typically expect to make about $30,000 in overtime a year.
The phrase “inflated body count’ took on new meaning for 18 cops in China’s Shandong Province who worked together to save a sex doll they thought was a drowning woman.
The incident happened July 11 when officers responded to a report that there was a lady in distress in one of the province’s rivers. The crew worked frantically for nearly an hour to rescue the woman, according to Digital Journal, and in the process, attracted a crowd of about 1,000 curious, excited and anxious spectators to the scene.
It took more than 40 minutes before the officers were able to recover the pleasure toy.
After confirming that they had merely rescued someone’s blow-up inflatable girlfriend, the police presented it to the anxious crowd, who quickly covered their children’s eyes and walked away, according to RocketNews24.com
The Times of India reports that Shandong is an important center for producing sex toys in China and supplies them across the globe.
Cop Gets It On on the Hood of a Squad Car
A photo of what appears to be a police officer having sex with a woman on the hood of a car has caused an uproar in New Mexico.
The Huffington Post could not confirm independently that the man in question was a law enforcement officer, but Albuquerque, N.M. TV station KOB 4 and the Albuquerque Journal both identified the man as a uniformed officer.
Light-Fingered Lefty Steals iPhone from Crash Victim
A 27-year-old police officer in Louisiana has resigned after authorities say he stole an iPhone from the scene of a drunken-driving crash.
Cpl. Tommy Stubbs, a police spokesman in Baton Rouge, says the phone wasn’t in the car when the driver got out of jail. Stubbs says a tracking feature showed that its name had been changed to “Jake Chustz’s iPhone,” and the driver recognized the name as that of an officer who had worked at the wreck June 2. He then filed a complaint.
Stubbs says Chustz (SHOOTS) was booked late Wednesday with felony theft and malfeasance in office, and resigned early Thursday. He had worked for the department for five years.
Horny Police Officer Can’t Control Himself, Rhapsodizes over Big Beautiful Breasts
In October 2011, local outlets reported that a New Mexico man nabbed on surveillance footage having sex on the hood of a car was a cop.
To the old saying, “Beware the long arm of the law,” we must add, “especially when its hand is touching itself in the squad car.”
That’s because a former police sergeant in Santa Fe, N.M., was caught on his own dash cam having a graphic sexual conversation with himself while masturbating on duty. The video, which was obtained by KOB-TV, just shows the vehicle of former Sgt. Mike Eiskant, but the audio is much steamier.
Eiskant was alone in the vehicle during his audio-erotic encounter and the sound of a zipper is clearly audible. He appears he is masturbating while looking at a picture of a naked woman on his cell phone and texting. The video lasts at least 10 minutes (commendable staying power) and at one especially heated point, he says, “Oh, show me those big beautiful breasts, baby.”
Moonlighting Off-Duty Cop Arrested after High-Speed Chase
A Miami police officer is accused of driving 120 mph on a turnpike because he was late for his off-duty job working security at a school.
The Florida Highway Patrol says officer Fausto Lopez was arrested at gunpoint after leading police on a brief high-speed chase. According to a police report, a trooper spotted a patrol car changing lanes in a dangerous manner. The report says the patrol car ignored warnings to pull over and led the officers on a brief high-speed chase before he was stopped near Hollywood, Florida.
Corrections Officer Sneaks Drugs into Prison in Taco Bell Wrappers
If you thought Taco Bell was addictive, this could have something to do with it. Indiana corrections officer Travis Wilbur allegedly used Taco Bell wrappers to sneak drugs into prison over the course of his yearlong employment at the Plainfield Correctional Facility, WTHR reported.
Officers at the facility arrested Wilbur on Wednesday as he attempted to bring in marijuana and suboxone — a narcotic — hidden in black electrical tape surrounded by the fast-food wrappers, cops said.
Wishtv reported that facility personnel were tipped off to Wilbur’s alleged scheme: trafficking the drugs to inmates. He was charged with marijuana possession, trafficking with an inmate and dealing controlled substances, all felonies.
Wilbur had been employed at the prison since March 2011.
