SNYDER, Okla. -- An Oklahoma police chief's job is in jeopardy and his town is in an uproar because of his wife's profession.
Snyder Police Chief Tod Ozmun and his wife, Doris, live in Snyder, just west of Lawton. However, the chief's wife is known worldwide for her work as a plus-sized model on a pornographic Web site.
Officials said the Snyder mayor is requesting an investigation by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation. Technically, the mayor cannot request an OSBI investigation. However, the district attorney's office can, and officials said the focus of any such investigation would be to determine whether city computers were used for the pictures and if that violates the city's charter.
"This came to light because some of the people in town went onto the Internet to download pictures of her and started passing them out around the citizens here in town," said Mayor Dale Moore.
Moore said he's trying to decide what's best for Snyder -- to keep a chief who many believe doesn't share their morals or to fire a man who's keeping residents safe.
"He's done more drug arrests, solved more crimes than anybody else in town has ever done," Moore said.
Resident Bryan Norton said he wants the chief fired.
"When our kids come home from school telling us that the chief's wife is a porno queen, how do you answer that?" said Norton.
What authority does a husband have to control their spouse? Who will enfoce it. Was he to lock her in the house and prevent her form leaving? Take away her computer so she couldn't post her own pictures? Saw off her head for violating family honor? What should he do? All he could do is ask her not to, but he has no real control. No husband does.
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front is a real organisation, though, and as nasty a bunch of murderers as you'd ever like to NOT meet in a dark alley jungle ...
Amazing how a person's worth is judged by how many rights he violates.
Perhaps a MIRAFIFAL (Mom I'd Run Away From In Fear And Loathing) ...
you arrogantbustard!!!
then you belong in a previous century where a man was supposed to have control of his wife the way a dog is controlled by its master
Yawn.
The reductio ad Talibanum is so boringly leftist.
No, what I expect from a man of dignity and honor, when he discovers his wife is engaged in such degenerate behavior, is to tell her that either she starts comporting herself like a decent human being or he is gone.
You guys never seem to understand:
Talibanism: all discipline imposed by physical force.
Libertinism: no discipline of any kind.
Virtue: self-imposed discipline.
The first two are for children, the latter alone is for adults.
I think it's incredibly creepy to fire an employee based on the actions of their spouse
I know it's incredibly creepy for a married woman to engage in pornography.
I'm not addicted to anything, and the implication that I am is an ad hominem argument. I'm glad to be able to enlighten you here since you apparently have no idea what an ad hominem argument is.
Looks like the "flag over her head" method didn't quite work.
I didn't know Helen Thomas was married to a cop.
Sorry - didn't realize you were so... sensitive...
Yeah, it keeps slipping off.
Evidentally, his wife's porn career has not affected his job performance in a negative way at all. Unless he's doing something specifically forbidden in his contract (i.e., "playing husband to a porky porn star"), do they really even have cause to fire him?That said, if I were this guy, I'd resign as in now. There's no way in hell this guy's going to have any gravitas going forward . . . he's going to be the butt of every joke imaginable.
I know she produced some shock and awe in me.
My question is - how is that humanly possible?
