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.
BARF. Send her to Club Gitmo. She could get more information out of the prisoners than any torture ever could.
That's one scary picture, but at least you remembered the "rules."
How does this affect the police chief's work? It would be one thing if she was a felon, or was causing some kind of conflict of interests that called into question the chief's impartiality, but this seemingly has no relevance. The photos might be disturbing, but they're not a reason to oust her husband from his job.
Not only did he exercise poor judgement with these pictures, he also exhibited extremely poor taste.
First, he has done something wrong. The details of his personal life reveal that he is lacking in judgment.
Second, the mayor has a right to hire and fire whomever he likes - he is the one responsible to the voters and they can vote him out of office next time if they think he's made a bad decision.
Augggghhhh...My eyes!!!!
Unless the chief was using city property for the production and distribution of his wife's pics (would seem unlikely), there is really no reason he should be fired. If other people were using city property to access the pics, then that is certainly not the chief's doing.
Sounds like much ado about nothing to me.
Fired? He should get a bonus for having to sleep with that!
Dude! She's HOT!!! Chief, you're one lucky dude!
A certain Queen song comes to mind...
He should be fired for letting her suck up all that internet bandwidth.
Absolutely.
In America, you can hire and fire people at will. Unless they are unionized.
No, I saw a FBG yesterday, and she had a pretty face, nice boobs, and still had a waist.
Sure, they can do it. I just think it's a pathetic decision made by people who would be better served minding their own business...
Gross lack of judgement *nasty*
