KWTN Team Report
Are the cops investigating the report published here last week that a Key West police officer was spotted receiving oral sex from a woman in his patrol car? They won't confirm or deny. However, Key West The Newspaper has now learned the name of the officer— but we'll withhold that information until the department completes the investigation. Maybe.
The spin now coming out of the Police Department unofficially is that the witnesses who reported
the incident— two young girls and their dates— may have "miss-saw" what was happening or, for
some reason, may have lied about what they miss-saw. One story is that the woman wasn't being exploited
at all— she was somehow being "helped" by the officer. Perhaps the woman had lost a contact lens in
the officer's lap and was simply trying to find it when the two couples walked by.
Former Key West Mayor Capt. Tony Tarracino is 85. You're invited to his birthday party, this evening, Friday, August 10, 4-8 p.m., at the Conch Republic Seafood Co.
