Bad cop, no donut

“Maybe he was cold and the kind officer was just trying to keep him warm!”

“Sorry Tree, but I can't find the humor in this one. I can't even imagine how the officer feels about the mistake he made.”

“My apologies, then. Stories like this are commonly made light of on this board, as tragic as they can be. No intention to upset any sensitivities here...”

“All humor is cruel at some level.”

“Tree, no offense taken.
I have a couple of friends that are officers at both the State and County level. To hear some of their stories about crap they have to deal with is an awakening. Thier's is a job I would not want and they have my utmost respect for doing it.”

“Absolutely, Pak! No argument there. I think you know the juvenile levels we stoop to here sometimes! :)”

“The struck victim had a VERY VERY bad day.

Reminds me of two stories about car accidents in Montreal in winter.

1st) A car rear ends another car on an icy stretch of hi-way. The drivers came out to check the damage...one driver bents over and puts his head between the bumpers to look, just then, a third car hits the second car...squashing the man's head.

2nd) On an on-ramp, there was a three car accident....on icy roads again....all three drivers came out to check their cars. Just then, a fourth car lost control and headed for them....the three men scatter....one man jumps over the embankment....only he forgot that they were almost level with the overpass....he fell three stories to his death.”

“Suspect cuts hole in drywall to escape cell Mon Jun 13,10:06 AM ET



LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Los Angeles police are trying to figure out how a robbery suspect managed to cut a hole in the wall of a cell and escape through a 15-by-9-inch hole in the space of an hour.

The suspect, described as a 20-year-old homeless man, 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing 160 pounds, escaped from a holding cell at a police station early Thursday morning.

Police said he appeared to have cut or torn a hole in the cell's drywall and ripped up a metal security mesh sandwiched inside the wall before crawling out and leaving through a fire exit.

He had been searched before being put in the cell, but when police checked on him an hour later he had vanished.

"I'm reluctant to put any blame on anyone at this point," said police Lt. Carlos Islas. "Clearly there's a hole in the wall. Whether it's a construction flaw will be determined at a later date."

The department said it was inspecting cells at all 19 of the city's police stations. The man was still at large on Friday.”

“That completely blows (if that's the whole story).”

“DALY CITY, Calif. (AP) - Victor Edward Willis, the original policeman in the 1970s music group the Village People, was arrested by real police who allegedly found a gun and drugs in his convertible.

Willis, who co-wrote disco hits such as "Macho Man" and "In the Navy" before leaving the Village People in the late 1970s, was taken into custody Monday after an officer stopped his Chevrolet Corvette.

Police said Willis didn't have a valid license or identification and at first lied about his name and residence. Inside the car, the officer found a .45-caliber handgun as well as rock cocaine and drug paraphernalia, police said.

Traces of cocaine and other paraphernalia were also found his home at a mobile home park in Daly City, just south of San Francisco, police said. Willis also had an outstanding felony warrant for possession of narcotics.

Police arrested him on suspicion of six felony counts, including possession of a firearm, driving on a suspended license and transportation of cocaine. He posted $100,000 bail Tuesday and was to be arraigned Aug. 16.

A Chillicothe sheriff's deputy claimed to have met 51-year-old Steven L. Edlen, the Kahoka chief of police, in an Internet chat room. The deputy was working undercover posing as an adult woman.

Officials said the chat became sexual in nature and the two arranged a meeting involving drugs at a Chillicothe motel. Court papers show that Edlen arrived at the motel with marijuana in his pocket.

Investigators said Edlen had also planned sex acts with an animal, but instead found an undercover officer waiting for him.

RICHMOND, Calif. (AP) — It's a case, police say, where some officers apparently got caught with their hands in a cookie store.

A security camera showed at least six Richmond police officers pouring cold beverages behind the counter of a closed cookie shop while searching for a gunman at a mall, the Contra Costa Times reported, citing unidentified police sources.

The management of the Mrs. Fields Original Cookies store at Hilltop Mall reported the incident after a security camera captured officers on July 15 helping themselves to icy beverages from dispensers, the newspaper said.

A police spokesman declined to comment Tuesday to The Associated Press. Acting Police Chief Terry Hudson told the paper Monday that he can't comment other than to say the police investigation remains unresolved.

Dozens of officers from Richmond, the California Highway Patrol and the Contra Costa Sheriff's Office searched the mall for hours that night after a security guard surprised two masked burglars trying to open a jewelry store's security gate.

One of the burglars fired a handgun, and then the burglars and guard ran in opposite directions. Nobody was injured, and no suspects or weapons were found.

"This was not just a group of officers out on a frolic," said Mary Sansen, a lawyer representing the officers on behalf of the Richmond Police Officers Association. "A couple of them were (dehydrated) to the point of desperation."


Second story”

“I have a friend that is a cop. He borrows my pickup truck all the time, which has nothing to do with this story so I don't know why I typed that. So I told some joke about the "Hot Product When Flashing" sign at Krispy Kream (or whatever the sign says). He got really pissed and was REALLY intimidating. I kept away from him for months after that (but still lent him my truck anytime he asked). About three weeks ago I made some comment like, "Hey man, I know better than to make cop/doughnut jokes!" and he looked puzzled. "What do you mean?", he asked. I reminded him about the incident and he let loose with a belly laugh. He said that he was only joking and didn't know I took it seriously. I guess he and his buddies make doughnut jokes all the time.

I would add that my brother is a cop as well and I told him this story. He also thought it was funny and verified that he loves doughnuts and makes these jokes with the other cops all the time.

“A local San Diego police sergeant is under investigation Thursday, accused of attacking a subordinate in front of a group of sixth graders after a practical joke.

According to investigators, it all started as a prank at a school safety patrol camp. The sergeant, Sgt. Martha Sainz, sat on a wet sponge during a skit, but apparently didn't find it funny. She allegedy attacked Officer Stacee Botsford in front of the children.

Sainz allegedly put Botsford in a headlock, punched and choked her. Botsford apparently did not fight back, and the kids laughed at the scuffle, thinking it was just an act.

According to police Chief William Lansdowne, the department's Internal Affairs unit is investigating the incident.

“My Six-Shooter Beats Your Five-Iron

CHINO, Calif. (AP) — An Orange County sheriff's reserve deputy was ordered to trial for allegedly pulling a gun on two slow-playing golfers and threatening them at Los Serranos Golf & Country Club.

Witnesses said Raymond Yi, 44, pointed a gun at the golfers and flashed his sheriff's badge during the July incident.

"When I saw him cock his gun, something fell out and my mouth dropped. I couldn't believe this was happening on a golf course," said golfer Marcelo Bautista, 35, a Los Angeles teacher who was playing on the course with his uncle Gustavo Resendiz.

Bautista said Yi had hit two balls toward the men and at the 14th hole Bautista hit Yi's ball back toward him. According to Bautista, Yi confronted him, left the fairway and returned with a badge and pointed a gun to his head.

Bautista and Resendiz continued playing but Yi followed them, pushed Resendiz and then cocked his gun.

"I really thought I was gonna be killed right then and there," said Resendiz, 61.

At the end of Monday's preliminary hearing, Superior Court Judge Raymond Youngquist said there was enough evidence to order trial. Yi is charged with two counts of assault with a firearm and two counts of making criminal threats. He will be arraigned Nov. 1.

“FRUITPORT TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- A man on a scavenger hunt entered a police station hoping to get a photo of an officer eating a doughnut.

What he got instead was thrown in jail.

Fruitport Township police officers Bryan Rypstra and Jon Durell heard a knock at the station's back door Saturday evening and found a man wearing a long wig and a Kiss T-shirt and a woman in a frilly pink dress.

The pair said they were on a scavenger hunt with another woman who had gone to a nearby store to buy a doughnut.

"Part of the scavenger hunt was to get a picture of a cop eating a doughnut. They wanted to know if one of the officers would be willing to get their picture taken," police Chief Paul Smutz told The Muskegon Chronicle.

The officers planned to play along, and they chatted with the man and woman while waiting for the doughnut run. As they spoke, the man, Louis Jasick, recognized Rypstra, a high school classmate who happened to be working overtime that evening.

Durell then remembered seeing Jasick's name on a flier that had been posted in the station only a day earlier. Jasick was wanted on two felony warrants for failing to pay $5,000 in child support.

Jasick was listed as a flight risk, so the officers invited him inside and arrested him.

WASHINGTON -- A D.C. police officer is caught riding down a street with his legs dangling over the side of a cruiser.

An eyewitness photographed the officer as he rode on the hood of a police cruiser on I Street in Northeast at 5 p.m. Sunday. A second squad car was also following the police vehicle.

Jason Lamberton said he took the photos from the second-floor window of his house. After taking the photos, he entered them along with some comments on a friend's Web site through his computer. The site features a web log for deaf people.

Lamberton, who is deaf, is also a math whiz and calculated the speed of the cruisers at about 27 mph above the posted speed limit.

“Spotsylvania Deputies Receive Sex Services in Prostitution Cases

By Tom Jackman

They enter the massage parlors as undercover detectives. They leave as satisfied customers.

In Spotsylvania County, as part of a campaign by the sheriff's office to root out prostitution in the massage parlor business, detectives have been receiving sexual services from "masseuses." During several visits to Moon Spa on Plank Road last month, detectives allowed women to perform sexual acts on them on four occasions and once left a $350 tip, according to court papers.

Spotsylvania Sheriff Howard D. Smith said that the practice is not new and that only unmarried detectives are assigned to such cases. Most prostitutes are careful not to say anything incriminating, so sexual contact is necessary, he said.

"If I thought we could get the conviction without that, we wouldn't allow it," Smith said. "If you want to make them, this has to be done."

But numerous police and legal experts said they were not aware of any law enforcement agency in the Washington region, or the country, that allows sexual contact in prostitution investigations. Police should not break the law to enforce it, they said.
