CASE #1

Another example of the consequences of sending nude pictures of yourself to your (at the time) boyfriend.

POLICE OFFICER CORRIE LONG: HER NUDE PICTURES LEAD TO EEOC COMPLAINT
By Richard Connelly

As shocking as it might be to believe, a woman sending nude pictures of herself to a boyfriend led to some complications.

For the Galena Park police force, it's led to an embarrassing discrimination suit, somehow.

GPPD officer Corrie Long was going out with fellow cop Terry Pena, KPRC reports. In the throes of romantic enthrallment, she sent what Long's lawyer called "topless and sexually suggestive" pictures (KTRK showed them, censored) to Pena before eventually breaking up with him.

It's a break-up Pena didn't take well, the lawyer says, and he sent the shots to the police chief, because chivalry is dead.

The chief said the relationship violated a police rule on no intra-office dating, so he suspended Long for five days and Pena for ten. Pena never served his suspension, Long's attorney claims.

He also says, in a complaint to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, that Long was called in to the chief's office and confronted by him and another supervisor, who demanded details on whether Long ever blew Pena (because....why?) and then "began leering at and making sexual comments and jokes" about the pictures. They pressured Long to resign, and she did.

Adding to the whole thing is a tape recording Pena is said to have sent to the chief of a conversation he had with another officer, in which that officer admits having a sexual relationship with a young woman in the office.

That other officer was not even questioned by his bosses, Long's lawyer says, so therefore the department has been guilty of gender discrimination.

GPPD chief Robert Pruett told KPRC the investigation into all matters was handled professionally and did not violate any laws.

CASE #2

Hell hath no fury like a woman (cop) scorned.

This case reminds me of when a Riverside, California female cop, driving her patrol unit, chased her police sergeant lover, driving his cop car down the freeway. She caught up to him when he had to stop at the end of an off-ramp because of cross traffic. She got out of her unit and popped four or five caps at him. She missed him and they both got fired.

VERONICA SALMERON: HPD COP BREAKS UP WITH HPD COP, GETS TASED
By Richard Connelly

Bad Cop Break-Ups, Part II: Earlier today we told you about a bad break-up between Galena Park cops. This one concerns HPD.

It doesn't involve nude pictures, but it does involve a cop getting tased.

KPRC reports that Houston cop Veronica Salmeron, 25, has been charged with criminal mischief after breaking windows at her former boyfriend's home. The ex is also an HPD cop.

Court documents show she took a lawn chair to the guy's car windows, and then did the same to the front windows of the house.

She apparently was upset at the end of the relationship, and figured this was the best way to get him back.

From there the story gets a little murky, and court documents don't do much to clear it up: KPRC says Salmeron got in the house and locked herself in the bathroom -- again, a top-notch relationship-restoring move -- and her ex then tased her. (Through the window? Unclear.)

The ex then called 911. He has not been charged with anything, but Salmeron, a two-year HOD vet, "has been relieved of duty pending the outcome of an internal affairs investigation," the station reports.
