Officer Resigns After Visit To “Bridget the Midget”

Stoughton (Mass.) police officer Richard P. Bennett, 28, got into big trouble after he decided he had to see “The World’s Smallest Porn Star” while on duty. Bennett stopped by Alex’s Gentleman’s Club to watch “Bridget the Midget” Powers, a 3-feet nine-inch tall stripper/porn star. He has now resigned from the force.

Bennett compounded his problems by arranging to take photographs in uniform with Bridget outside of the club. He was also found to have an unapproved laser scope installed on his department-issued .40-caliber Glock and is accused of denying that violation.

It is an unfortunate end of a career since Bennett had just been recognized for his help in capturing an accused killer.

This is becoming something of a pattern. We have seen other officers disciplined for pictures at places like Twin Peaks and Hooters.
