Scum of the week 2-21 award goes to....... Officer Mosmiller of the Anne Arundel County Police. Apparently, the AACo's finest in the "set your wife on fire state" (3 in the last 18 months) have decided to join the fight in the war against women. Mosmiller's Get Out of Jail Free by letting him "cop" a feel program has been suspended as of monday when a teenaged girl filed a complaint against him.
It hit the paper this morning and by lunch, they had to update the article because a number of women have already come forward. Mosmiller is not the only one being investigated. The investigation, sadly enough, will probably go nowhere as he is already out on NO BAIL and welcomed back at work.
This lovely county, which is home to the state's capital, uses the stat boosting periodic checks (which usually involves entering a home without a warrant - thank you Patriot Act) to double their "crime" rates and bring in rookies like Mosmiller.
According to court records, Officer Mosmiller, who was assigned to the department's midnight shift, pulled over two women just before midnight Jan. 20 on Fort Smallwood Road. He lectured the 18-year-old driver about the dangers of drinking and driving and told her to follow him to her home.
Police said he ultimately led the women to the Community United Methodist Church parking lot at 8680 Fort Smallwood Road and asked the driver to complete several field sobriety tests. He then told her that if she and her friend showed him their breasts, they wouldn't go to jail.

Officer Mosmiller didn't file a police report for the traffic stop, police said.
There was no report of whether or not the girl even smelled like alcohol when she went to the police station to report the incident. Noone will comment on what was found on his confiscated phone. Three other officers are suspended to desk duty.
This was not the first report on this guy.....and they won't say how long this rookie has been doing this aside from the fact that he only graduated from the academy in 06.
I will try to follow this to see if our new Repub County exec Leopold (who is a whole weird diary on his own) tries to sweep this under the rug.
