Worse Than Breaking Rocks
Don’t try to tell me you’ve never imagined this as a great way to let your boss know you’re resigning. A prison guard in Marin County was fired after giving an inmate a wedgie hard enough to break the prisoner’s underwear. (Amongst other ‘unethical’ acts.)
STUART — A Martin County jail guard has been dismissed following reports he improperly touched inmates, administering a “wedgie” strong enough to break one inmate’s underwear, according to investigatory documents.
Sheriff Robert Crowder terminated Deputy Vincent Caiazzo’s employment for a variety of schoolboy hijinks amounting to a violation of the code of ethics for public officers and employees, according to a recently released report.
“Sheriff Crowder takes seriously any code of ethics charge — very seriously — because that’s where the public trust comes in,” sheriff’s spokeswoman Lt. Jenell Atlas said Thursday. “Inmates are the public, and we’re supposed to serve them as well.”
Among other mischief, Caiazzo reportedly gave inmate Jerome Turner three pairs of underwear inscribed with a name that sounds like a salacious request.
Caiazzo reportedly destroyed Turner’s underwear when he grabbed him sometime in May.
“Deputy Caiazzo snuck up behind Jerome Turner and grabbed his underwear and proceeded to pull them up in a ‘wedgie’ hard enough to rip them,” inmate Dale Nielsen wrote in a statement submitted on June 20 as part of an internal investigation into the allegations.
Other inmate statements also alleged that Caiazzo had a penchant for grabbing buttocks and twisting nipples.
