Police have spent £170,000 of public money trying to prosecute a strippergram for playing an officer as part of his act. Stuart Kennedy, who performs under the stage name of Sergeant Eros, was last week cleared in court for the 22nd time. The case collapsed after the Crown Office dropped the charges against him. In the latest incident as part of an extraordinary two-year spat with police, Mr Kennedy was arrested while driving home from Aberdeen’s Tiger Tiger club dressed in full uniform.
He said he had been forced to flee the nightspot fully clothed after being threatened by an angry boyfriend. Since March 2007, the 25-year-old genetics student from Aberdeen University has been arrested six times and spent 123 hours in custody, without police securing a single conviction. Grampian Police have incurred the wrath of the public over the accumulated police, court and legal aid costs now mounting to an estimated £170,000. Mr Kennedy first came under the nose of the constabulary when he was waiting outside a bar in Aberdeen dressed in his uniform. He was spotted by two plain-clothes female officers who asked if he needed any help.
When Mr Kennedy said he was a stripper, the officers watched him perform his act with batons and a spray at the city’s Paramount venue before taking him in for questioning.
It must feel good to have all the real crimes solved.
It’s “good” to know the real priorities of a conservative police.
“-what’s the plan for today sarge?The chiswick strangler?The embezzling banker?”
“-no Leroy, today I think we’ll hunt that fake cop stripper! He’s a bad’un”
TO THE PATHETIC-COPY-OF-THE-US-POLICE-FORCE MOBILE!
Its hen night but whatever. 😛
The two female officers watched him “perform”??..
They made an example of him alright. They proved how little they care about the taxpayers’ money, to stop and consider whether this was a colossal waste of it to prosecute. But then this impostor isn’t putting up a fight, I’ll bet. So he’s an easy collar, compared to the real bad guys. No surprise the UK cops prefer raking in all the non-violent, minor offenders, first.
