Personally, I really don’t care about the prostitution (that’s my libertarian side sneaking out), but this guy<\/a> just doesn’t have the brain power to be in the classroom.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

…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. <\/p>\n

In giving police information about the stolen vehicle, Brochu said he had known the man for about 1\u00bd 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“Brochu stated that it was customary for him to pay [the prostitute] after arriving back in Farmington,” the affidavit says. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
