Certain officers may think of themselves as the law but it’s good to see those who break laws get punished. One cop greeted a pizza delivery-woman naked and is now suspended.
Men have the luxury of grabbing a towel and wrapping it around themselves to not expose themselves. So, when you read the details of this story, you’ll know that the cop could’ve dressed appropriately before answering the door. This is not the Garden of Eden.
According to the Las Cruces Sun-News, William Gonzalez, 28, a police officer in the New Mexico city, has been cited for indecent exposure and suspended for greeting a pizza deliverywoman completely in the nude.
Gonzalez, a five-year veteran of the force, was “immediately” placed on administrative leave early last month after the young woman reported the incident to her supervisor.
To compound his problems, Gonzalez allegedly pleaded with another officer to persuade the woman not to file a police report.
“It is truly sad that an employee knowing right from wrong still does wrong against all reason,” LCPD Chief Jaime Montoya said in a statement. “It is also sad that an employee will put a fellow employee in a tough position of having to inform a supervisor of misconduct.”
According to the report, the woman said Gonzalez told her he had just gotten out of the shower, but she noticed his hair was dry and he didn’t have a towel.
After he signed the receipt, she said, he went back inside the home to get her a tip and returned to the front door — still naked — with cash.
The officer who filed the report said Gonzalez also had “threatened” to expose himself to the same woman months earlier when, according to the report, he came to the door wearing only basketball shorts and told her his friends had dared him to answer the door naked.
This officer must not want to keep his job.
