VISALIA — A former Visalia police officer was arrested Thursday on suspicion of fondling a woman last month while taking her to a Tulare County detention facility.

Xavier Perez, 35, was arrested in Clovis by Tulare County sheriff's detectives on suspicion of felony sexual battery, according to the Sheriff's Department.

This was not a good career move.

"Swiney said he could not recall what Perez did before working for the department"

Several jobs Americans refuse to do?;)

[Enterprise]

Aw, he was just trying to get a feel for the job.

Wonder what convinced the investigators that he did the deed. Sounds like she said he said unless there were witnesses.

With no rubber glove,
It must have been love.

Wonder what convinced the investigators that he did the deed.

Probably because the first and second complaints were winked at. Since that is what they normally do.

If he did grab,
It was right that they would nab.

[Jagman]

He apparently saw himself as the titular head of all things titular.

[Ben Hecks]

Bump.

[Enterprise]

I guess the department decided to make a clean breast of it.

[BurbankKarl]

I guess you can say he COPped a feel.

[Enterprise]

I wonder too. Witnesses, DNA, suspiciously lengthy transportation time to the jail?

[Jagman]

I fully understand: She had to get it off her chest!

Cop a feel bump

Illegal Search and seize her

"Probably because the first and second complaints were winked at. Since that is what they normally do. "

I wouldn't say winked at, just that "she said, he said" cases are kind of hard to prove.

But once there is a pattern shown, it gets a lot easier to prove.

Keep in mind cops are clannish and someone who crosses the line and acts like a dirtbag is out, totally. There are just too many 'approved channels' to show one's character. Touching a female prisoner in an non-appropriate fashion will get an officer thrown out of the club in a heartbeat!

[Enterprise]

It was all an honest mistake. She said "loosen my cuffs" and he thought she said "loosen my cups."

"Cop a feel bump"

Cop a feel bump bump

[gcruse]

She asked, "Is this some kind of a bust?"
And he said, "I feel for you."

[Enterprise]

"She asked, "Is this some kind of a bust?"

He groped in silence for an answer, finally announcing: "Oh Yesssss, it IS a bust."
