Local mom calls 911 on detective: 'The guy just dropped his pants'

By Ian Forrest/KPTV.com

An Oregon State Police detective has been caught having sex with a prostitute while he was on duty, according to police.

A 911 call on Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. reported a man and woman engaging in a sex act in the bushes off Southeast Johnson Creek Boulevard near 77th Court.

The woman who called 911 told Fox 12 she was at home with her daycare kids when she saw a man and woman walk into the empty lot across the street. That's when her 16-year-old son said, "Mom, the guy just dropped his pants."

"And I'm like, what? No," said Jennifer Stone.

Clackamas County deputies responded and made contact with the two suspects while they were still in the bushes.

Police said Detective Richard Narvaez met the woman in a nearby parking lot.

Narvaez, who is assigned as a detective to the Tribal Gaming Section in Salem, was on duty at the time but not in uniform. He was cited on a charge of patronizing a prostitute and public indecency, and has since been put on unpaid suspension leave pending the investigation.

Police said 32-year-old Tiffany Smith, of Portland, was arrested on charges of outstanding probation violation warrants, public indecency and prostitution.

Stone said she's just glad the neighborhood children didn't see what happened.

"I think it's disgusting," she said. "I think it's stupid. Being in that profession, why would you screw up like this?"

I didn’t even think cops got in trouble for stuff like this. I guess I’ve seen it so many times on movies and TV that it just seemed like it was overlooked when it happened. Of course when TV and movie cops hump they generally wait until night, not 2:30 p.m. on a walking trail.

But what is a cop supposed to do when some vivacious hooker offers him a discount plow in the middle of the afternoon? He’s just got to channel his inner McNulty and hope for the best. Prudes like Jennifer Stone be damned.

Strip Club Petitions High Court to Hear Tax Case

By Jacob Gershman/Wall Street Journal

With the help of a leading First Amendment litigator, an upstate New York strip club is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether it’s entitled to the same sales-tax exemptions granted to ballets and opera houses.

Albany-area strip club called Nite Moves is challenging the state’s sales-tax policy on constitutional grounds. It’s filed a petition with the Supreme Court seeking to overturn a ruling by the state’s highest court last year.

The issue is whether the club’s cover charge and three-minute lap dances should be subject to an 8% sales tax. The club argues that the same tax code that exempts “dramatic or musical art performances,” should also apply to strip-club performances, accusing the state of acting as a dance critic.

State attorneys have argued that the nude dancers at Nite Moves aren’t “engaged in a genuine choreographic dance performance.” The New York Court of Appeals ruled against Nite Moves in a 4-to-3 decision in October.

Nite Moves CFO Stephen Dick told Law Blog that he realizes the odds are long on the Supreme Court agreeing to hear the case at all. “But we believe our case has as much merit and is as important to free speech nationally as any other that we will be petitioning the court in the next session,” he said.

Well this is what happens when good men like Elliott Spitzer get run out of government.

What a bunch elitists they’ve got in the state government in New York. Sitting in their ivory towers and enjoying the “genuine choreographic dance” over at the ballet. I guess Joe Six Pack doesn’t deserve entertainment.

What’s more genuinely choreographed than some lass doing the batman on your face? I challenge these stuff shirts in Albany to check out the lunch buffet at Nite Moves and see if they don’t come away with a different point of view.

At least the Supreme Court can be counted on to make sure freedom of speech and artistic expression will be help up, unlike some g strings which will be pulled down. Clarence Thomas is probably wetting his lips right now. Anita Bryant never won glass heels.



Now that is some fine choreographic dance.
