U.S. town to pay for policeman's topless stunt | Oddly Enough | Reuters.co.uk (http://today.reuters.co.uk/news/articlenews.aspx?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=2007-01-26T221056Z_01_N1P251889_RTRIDST_0_OUKOE-UK-TOPLESS.XML): "MIAMI (Reuters) - A Florida city has agreed to pay $35,000 (17,900 pounds) to a teenage girl who was forced by a policeman to perform jumping exercises while topless in order to avoid arrest on an indecency charge.
The Pensacola City Council approved the payment on Thursday night to settle a lawsuit the girl filed against the city police department.
Officer Shawn Patrick Shields approached a parked car and found two partially dressed teenagers inside in April 2003, according to a police report. The officer put the 16-year-old girl and 19-year-old man into his police car and threatened to arrest them for lewd and lascivious behaviour.
The girl said Shields suggested she instead perform topless exercises as a punishment and shined his flashlight on her while she did five jumping jacks.
Shields resigned under pressure, pleaded no contest to a criminal charge of extortion and was ordered to serve two years on probation, police Lt. Randy Stull said." http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?i=Kf1HYClA</img> (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?a=Kf1HYClA) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?i=51HNo2G3</img> (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?a=51HNo2G3) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?i=aAKDd5qr</img> (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?a=aAKDd5qr) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?i=BgGdiiWy</img> (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?a=BgGdiiWy)
