Police Beat

Fire me before I fuck your wife again!
Patrol Officer William Bowker was serving on the Lee County Narcotics Task Force in 2008 when he committed several admitted policy violations. State records related to Bowker's recent request for unemployment benefits indicate that while assigned to the task force he was twice photographed by colleagues while sleeping on duty, consumed alcohol while on call, refused to attend a class about search warrants and complained that another class conflicted with his plans for a Super Bowl party.

As a result, Bowker was removed from the task force in early 2009, but he faced no discipline from the Fort Madison Police Department, where he remained on staff.

In the spring of 2009, Bowker allegedly initiated an extramarital affair with Reserve Officer Christine Niggemeyer, the wife of Police Chief Bruce Niggemeyer. Another officer in the department reported the matter to the chief in June 2009, but when questioned by the chief, Bowker allegedly denied the affair.

The city manager then instructed two of the city's 18 police officers to investigate the matter. After conducting surveillance of Bowker and collecting video of Bowker and Christine Niggemeyer hugging and kissing, the officers confirmed the affair.

He certainly used his balls for brains.

I blame the militancy of the trade union.

I think it is a perfectly acceptable use of police resources to see if your wife is cheating on you with a co-worker. Next up, is that stupid old lady next door letting her poodle poop on my lawn?

A-huggin' and a-kissin' and a-kissin' and a-huggin'.

Niggemeyer—not a joke name! Perhaps there is a God.

At least you can't say he went off half-cocked...

Yeah, was this lazy, drunk incompetent really that smooth, or was Mrs. Niggemeyer that desperately lonely?

'Cause, y'know, I'm pretty lazy, and frequently drunk, and there can be pretty serious questions about MY competence, and yet I routinely have trouble getting married women to sleep with me. I mean, sure, my batting average isn't .000, but somehow I just get the feeling this dood has some kind of gift...
