Ft. Worth's finest apparently not the solid bedrock of ethical behavior, at least where
pizza is concerned.
A Fort Worth police officer has resigned three months after being accused of offering a pizza delivery driver a break on a traffic ticket in exchange for pizzas.
Officer David Towson, who had been on the force five years, resigned in October after administrators recommended an indefinite suspension, which is the equivalent of being fired, police Lt. Abdul Pridgen said Wednesday.
Towson, who was assigned to the traffic division, was placed on restricted duty in July after a pizza driver told internal affairs investigators that Towson offered to not write her a ticket if she would take pizzas to a certain address, Pridgen said.
This is a pretty poor decision on the part of the cop, but what about the pizza delivery girl? The cop does her a favor, and she
still rats him out to internal affairs? What a loser.
