TOO DUMB TO TEACH
Personally, I really don’t care about the prostitution (that’s my libertarian side sneaking out), but this guy just doesn’t have the brain power to be in the classroom.
A veteran teacher at Northwestern Regional High School has been placed on leave after his arrest a week ago in Farmington on a charge of patronizing a prostitute.
…Brochu himself initially contacted the police. On April 17, Brochu, of 283 Main St. in Farmington, reported that a male prostitute from Hartford had stolen his 1999 Honda Accord, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.
In giving police information about the stolen vehicle, Brochu said he had known the man for about 1½ years, and that they had an established “prostitute-john” relationship, police said. Brochu told police he discovered his car had been stolen the morning after he brought the man back to his Farmington apartment for sex, police said.
Brochu said he had been drinking at the Union Bar in Hartford onApril 16 and was intoxicated when he picked up the prostitute between 7 and 8 p.m. in the Wolcott Street area, Farmington police said. Brochu drove the man back to his apartment and paid him $40 in exchange for oral sex, according to the arrest warrant affidavit.
“Brochu stated that it was customary for him to pay [the prostitute] after arriving back in Farmington,” the affidavit says.
So, he admitted to the police that he drove drunk and then picked up a prostitute. Too late for Miranda, I guess. (Hat tip to Judy Aron.)
