EXTRA!!! Midtoon Police Officer Suspended

The Midtoon Herald, May 15, 2009

The public was shocked this afternoon when the Midtoon Police Department admitted that one of their own had been identified in a suit involving police brutality. The Chief of Police declared in front of the astonished reporters that a local police officer was allegedly involved in the case.

"An investigation is in progress," said the Chief. "So we can't disclose the identity of the officer or any additional details of the case.

Sources close to the Police Department identified the suspended officer as Tina Mollison, daughter of the late James Mollison, who used to be a police officer in Centerville, before accepting a post as Chief of Police in Westoon.

"Tina was born to a law enforcement family," said our source. "It is a pity that she allowed her personal life to interfere with her work."

According to our source, Officer Tina Mollison has had several instances of very violent incidents, especially when intervening with men. What brought this case to light is that the victim was an innocent man, falsely accused by an anonymous caller.

Apparently, when responding to investigate the case, Officer Mollison made use of "unapproved interrogation techniques". What those "techniques" were, is a matter of speculation right now, but they seem to have involved ropes and her baton.

Officer Mollison has been suspended without pay until the Internal Affairs Division of the MPD completes their investigation.

This reporter is wondering if Ms. Mollison would care to teach her some knots.
