Life imitates art
You'd be a liar if sometimes you didn't wish your life occasionally unfolded like a porn movie. Well, for one police officer, it did. After pulling over a motorist for speeding, he discovered she had some pills in the car. She also turned out to be a porn star:
Her blog said that although she acknowledged having drugs she described only as "happy pills," the trooper threw them into the brush near the highway.
"I thought it would be a good blog story. (I thought) my fans would love it and they did," she said.
But according to her, receiving a speeding ticket wasn't the interesting part of the encounter.
"He ended up throwing (the drugs) out and not giving me a ticket for it, and I offered him an oral favor as a nice gesture," said Cummings.
She said Moss went to a secluded area and claims he later asked if he could tell his friends about her Web site.
Well, it seems this officer's bosses didn't take too kindly to his acceptance of the gift. Nor were they pleased when they found out other drives had complained about him:
District Attorney General Tommy Thompson said in June that publicity surrounding the case prompted other women to come forth with complaints about Moss, which the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the FBI investigated.
After a raid on Moss' house in June, officials said they took the hard drive from Moss' computer, cell phone and floppy disks. Before the raid, officials said they were reviewing more than 25 traffic stops involving Moss.
The charges against Moss include official misconduct, official oppression and destruction of evidence.
About half of the charges stem from the incident involving Cummings. The other four are a from a separate incident with another female driver.
I guess the moral of the story is, when you're watching Cinemax at 3 am and the police officer's investigation of a noisy neighbor turns into an all out sex-fest, and you sit there thinking, "Damn, I wish that'd happen to me," just remember what happens in real life. And yes, I know that's a run-on sentence, but I don't care.
