Moonlighting

Here’s a story about a police officer who was originally looking to make a few extra bucks, and is now out of a job as a result. Perhaps the officer in the story should have stuck with ‘rent-a-cop’ duty to earn his mad money. Or, if he really had his heart set on web design, perhaps he should have been a little more selective about his clients.

I always thought you had to be at least minimally intelligent to be a cop. I guess the standards in Arizona are a little lower than in my own state.

The investigation began after a female Mesa police officer received more than 25 calls on her personal cell phone in late December and early January from people requesting to meet her in response to an advertisement for an escort, Sgt. Chuck Trapani said.

The officer had no idea what the callers were referring to and researched the Web site, which advertised for a well-known Mesa prostitute. The officer contacted the prostitute, who told her she didn’t maintain the Web site. The prostitute, whose name was not released, gave officer Beaulieu’s name.

You just can’t make shit like this up.
