Ever get stopped by a cop for something you're sure you didn't do?
Then you'll know just how one woman felt when she was pulled over for no apparent reason in the city of Berwick, Pennsylvania in the spring of last year.
The officer turned on the red and blue lights mounted on his pick-up truck, got out of the vehicle, approached the driver and began to ask the usual questions about licence and registration.
But then the queries turned personal. He asked if she was married or had a boyfriend. And then he tried to get her phone number. The startled woman realized she'd only been stopped because he was looking for a date, and she promptly issued an official complaint to the local police department.
More than a year later, she finally got her day in court. And now 32-year-old Steve Klinger, a part time officer with the local force, is finding out how the other half lives. He's been sentenced to a month in jail for acting outside his authority.
The corrupt cop has traded in his blue uniform for an orange prison one, and won't be rejoining his comrades in arms when he gets out. He's been kicked off the force and is now unemployed.
In addition to his 30 days in the pokey, Klinger also received a $1,000 fine for his actions and three more days for driving drunk in a separate incident. He was found to be five times over the legal limit when he was stopped in July 2007.
The former lawman apologized to the judge for his actions and told him he's now undergoing rehab for an alcohol problem.
