Makes you proud to be a Missourian, doesn't it?

Here we have the story of Officer Friendly. Or make that Officer Inappropriately Friendly to Animals.

A Chillicothe sheriff's deputy claimed to have met 51-year-old Steven L.
Edlen, the Kahoka chief of police, in an Internet chat room. The deputy was
working undercover posing as an adult woman.

Officials said the chat became sexual in nature and the two arranged a
meeting involving drugs at a Chillicothe motel. Court papers show that Edlen
arrived at the motel with marijuana in his pocket.

Investigators said Edlen had also planned sex acts with an animal, but
instead found an undercover officer waiting for him.
