Great Moments in Police Work
Officers of the Texas City Police Department were conducting a prostitution sting April 4. Things were going well -- eventually six hookers were arrested, no doubt the first step toward forever eradicating the problem of prostitution on the Gulf Coast.
Around midnight, according to police, the officers observed a Texas City PD patrol car pull up to one of the women posing as a working girl. TCPD officer Lee Marshall, a two-year veteran of the force, was later charged with the class B misdemeanor of solicitation of prostitution.
The department is not talking about the incident, beyond the bare bones contained in the arrest report and brief statements Chief Robert Burby made to The Galveston County Daily News.
If only they would answer questions; there are so many. First -- and it's not really a question, but -- He pulled up in a patrol car? Ballsy. (Burby did tell Hair Balls that Marshall was off-duty at the time.)
More important: Although Burby wouldn't confirm it, the arrest info indicates this was a sting run by TCPD. The department's Web site lists about 25 officers. A group shot on the home page shows very few are women. Didn't Marshall recognize his fellow officer? We guess a skanky wig and a miniskirt go a long way.
That must have been one embarrassing moment when the sting was pulled: "Umm, Lee? I work a couple of desks down from you. You're under arrest."
Marshall, who could not be contacted, has been suspended with pay.
"We guess a skanky wig and a miniskirt go a long way."
Calling Cindy Sheehan, please pick up. Your order is ready.
There's something more to this than meets the eye. Since when do cops rat out other cops?
Prostitution is still a Crime?
Across the Detroit River in Windsor Ontario its taxed and regulated.
Isn't that called public indecency?
Him pulling up in a marked patrol car probably shows that he is an arraogant ass and is most likely a pain in everyone's ass.
I'm sure he was just asking for directions . . .
Those darn Canadiens taking money from Kwame's wallet!
Was Officer Lee the only one that wasn't aware of the sting operation? Maybe he didn't get the memo.
If he can't find it by now no amount of directions are going to help.
My biggest gripe with these situations, is to keep paying the perp, though he should be discharged immediately...
and that dripping I hear would be... yeah, thought so: justifiable sarcasm.
That's the most suspicious part of all - guys never, but never, ask for directions!
Libertarian ping! To be added or removed from my ping list freepmail me or post a message here.
In a department that small and his co-workers arrested him, trust me, he is an asshole to the nth degree!!

I need to read through my employment contract to see if I still get paid while sitting in the slammer.
Of course I heard that Bill Clinton fired off a couple of loads in the oval office. So what's wrong with other gov. officials enjoying fringe benefits?
What's more likely for me is "your license plate light is out - so - I need to search your car - for officer safety - ya know".
Marshall, who could not be contacted, has been suspended with pay
For this they gave him a paid vacation?
