Cops caught masturbating in car…again, the epidemic of mentally unstable cops


Suspension for cop caught with his pants down

St. Petersburg, Florida -- A St. Pete Police officer was suspended for conduct unbecoming after he was caught masturbating in his own personal vehicle on Aug. 25.
A tow truck driver allegedly saw Officer Andrew Cane, who was off duty, in his personal vehicle in a posted "tow away" parking lot on Central Avenue. He called police to report what he saw and an investigation was conducted by the Investigation Services Bureau.
In an interview with investigators, Officer Cane told them he had just finished his instruction at the Police Academy and had gotten tired while driving home. He pulled over into the parking lot to rest and had fallen asleep.
The next thing he knew, he was being awakened by a tow truck driver knocking on the window. Officer Cane did admit his penis was exposed and in his hand when the tow truck driver approached the vehicle.
St. Pete Police Chief Anthony Holloway said in his report Officer Cane made several inconsistent statements during recorded interviews with investigators.
On Dec. 9, a Command Review Board convened and Chief Holloway determined the allegations against Officer Cane were sustained and he received an 80-hour suspension along with removal from the Department's SWAT Team and Honor Guard. He has received a mandatory referral to Employee Assistance Program as well.
In 18 months, Officer Cane will be eligible to apply for open positions on the Special Weapons and Tactics Team and Honor Guard.
