Local News Anchor Charged With Prostitution

A local television news anchor was arrested on prostitution charges Thursday.
Darryl Tardy was arrested at Westside Regional Park. Police said the arrest was part of their normal undercover work to eradicate prostitution.
Officers said they chose the park because of complaints from nearby residents. It has also been the site of prior prostitution arrests.
According to a police report, Tardy asked an undercover officer if he was a cop and demanded that he prove that he was not.
Tardy was reportedly arrested after the sheriff's officer refused to expose himself.
Seven men were arrested in the sting. Police emphasized that prostitution is not a victimless crime.
"The problem is, there are children there and it's not right for people to go there to act out their fantasy or what they think they want," said Public Information Officer Ken Jefferson.
Tardy works for First Coast News, WTLV in Jacksonville. The station had no comment on the arrest.
Tardy waived his first appearance in court and is in a Duval County jail.
This just proves we were right when we called them Media Wh*res.
This looks like a clear case of police violating the 1st Amendment rights of a tinkerbell brother who was working on a story exposing the Bush administration. The cops knew a black fairy presstitute would be biased toward Viet Cong John and they arrested him. Case will go nowhere!

Local news anchor arrested
By TIA MITCHELL
The Times-Union
Darryl Tardy, a Jacksonville television news anchor, was arrested at a public park Thursday evening and accused of trying to get an undercover detective to expose himself, police said today.
Vice detective Tommy Herrington was walking down a trail in the woods at Westside Regional Park when he passed another man, according to an arrest report. The man began touching himself suggestively and looking at the detective.
After a brief conversation, the man said to the officer, "You're a cop, aren't ya," the police report said. The officer said he wasn't.
The man asked the officer to prove he wasn't a cop, the report said. Herrington asked if that meant exposing himself, and the man nodded his head yes. When the detective refused to expose himself, the man wouldn't talk with him anymore.
Herrington arrested Tardy, who lives in the 1300 block of Menna Street, about 5 p.m. Thursday. He was charged with offering for prostitution, a second-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a fine of up to $500.
Tardy is the lead investigator for First Coast News, the Times-Union's news partner. In addition his reporting duties, he also anchors Good Morning Jacksonville on Saturday mornings.
He joined First Coast News in November 2000 after serving as a reporter anchor and host of a talk show for R News in Rochester, N.Y.

Damn, you don't need gay-radar to know that fella's light in the loafers. Heck, even his picture has a lisp.
The answer doesn't address the assertion. Prostitution behind closed doors, where there aren't children, is still illegal. Solicitation for sex in a public park could be criminalized even if prostitution were legal, and it would address the cop's concern.

Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
Thank Heaven I do not work in television!!!! Tardy probably got tired of the "political correctness" at his station and in everyday life. He does what most men do...if they cannot get it at home they will search elsewhere to get it!!
As Times reporter Richard Berke, who is gay, explained: "Literally three-quarters of the people deciding what's on the front page are not-so-closeted homosexuals."
Also arrested - Kevin Blower.
Photo says a lot.
That is one butt-ugly news anchor. He has what broadcasters call 'radio face.'
Seemingly-Unrelated-But-Maybe-Not observations:
1. Station website is News4Jax.com
2. "Tardy waived his first appearance in court...". He waived his WHAT? Some people never learn...
I report...you decide...
WHY??? What's wrong with people?
"Hi! I'm Darryl's friend Al. Click my pic to hear who's at fault for my friend's error in judgment."
He doesn't look so happy there.
In addition, the project will examine laws against public lewdness, "which are routinely misused to persecute and prosecute people who participate in non-traditional forms of sexual expression.""I've seen firsthand how the misuse of these [public lewdness] laws has ruined the lives of gay and bisexual men," said Matt Foreman, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
Ithn't he thweet?
