Two officers suspended for pulling dildo prank at work

SAN LUIS, Ariz. -- Two police officers have been suspended for five days without pay for pulling a prank involving a sex toy, the mayor of San Luis said.

Mayor Nieves Riedel said the incident involved an officer who planted a phallic sex toy in a patrol car as a joke on another officer last week. One of the department's sergeants learned about the incident and an investigation led to the discipline.

She said she was briefed by the city's police chief, Heriberto Bejarano.

"Boys are going to be boys," Riedel said, while adding that officers are supposed to set examples for the community and saying the incident was in "bad taste."

"They didn't stop and think. ... You have got to be careful about the things you do because it reflects on you," Riedel said.

Police spokesman Ernesto Lugo declined to discuss specifics, but said such cases are treated as sexual harassment by the department.

"We have a policy against sexual harassment, against playing with stuff like that in the workplace," Lugo said.

I seen a buddy bite into a Subway sandwich, he was pulling and tugging then pop out from the sub comes a dildo. Now he's standing in the middle of the lounge with 6 - 10 other officers aound some were female with a dildo in his mouth.

That was funny..

I'd only complain if the sexual harrassment stopped!

Although I disagree strongly with the disciplinary measures, at some point folks are going to have to figure out that any kind of prank involving anything sexual is likely to backfire.

We have a woman cop who has sued successfully at least 3 times I know of for sexual harassment incidents. Right after the third one I was walking through her precinct and saw two male cops having a sexually explicit conversation with her.

Cops are slow learners, I guess.

Stuff like this is in news all the time and they continue to do it.

I agree totally. But to me, the funniest comedians are the ones who can be funny without using bad language or telling dirty jokes. Toliet humor is cheap and easy, and not always that funny.

But on another point, where do these guys get the dildos? If I owned one, I sure as hell wouldn't admit to it, much less bring it to work?

Apparently no one on your dept has sued yet because of some goofy sexual prank.

All it takes is one and any chief or brass is going to be leery of silly shit like that. Most chiefs are reasonably human and jokes are jokes. But as I've said, there is a long sordid history of litigation regarding sexual harassment. What's funny as hell to you may not be to a jury. And any chief that has to pay out very many judgments on crap like this isn't going to be chief of anything very long.
