Michigan Cop (in full uniform) Arrested by Undercover Officers in Sex for Drugs Sting



A Parrieville, Township reserve police officer, Michael Strong, was arrested in full uniform (with badge and gun) when he showed up to trade drugs for sex with undercover police.  Mlive.com reportsthat Michigan State Police learned that Strong was connecting with men on a website called grindr, a dating site for gay men, in order to obtain sexual favors for illegal substances.  The state police set up a fake account using information “Strong would particularly like.”  Mlive reports that “Strong then contacted the officers, according to the testimony, suggesting a meet-up where Strong would bring drugs including ecstasy, marijuana, cocaine.”

They set up a meeting at the Holiday Inn off US-131 in Oshtemo Township, where Strong showed up in full police uniform with two handguns, a taser and a dispatch radio on him, Klotz testified. Strong also brought what the MSP sergeant said was the drug "molly," also known as ecstasy, and the prescription drug Adderall.

They rigged up the room with hidden cameras and arrested Strong after field tests showed the drugs to be real. He then had a particularly awkward arraignment in an orange jump suit, charged with felony count of delivery of amphetamines and felony use of a firearm. 

Suffice to say his police career is over.  Strong’s previuos career was as a firefighter and EMS worker for the county.  That’s likely over, too.  When he gets out, if he gets out, he’s going to need to find another line of work.  How stupid can you be to show up for a gay-sex drug-tryst in full uniform?  Pretty stupid.  I’d say there’s a protip here.  But no protip would be worth it.  If you can’t figure this out as a police officer, you don’t deserve any tips.  And you don’t deserve a uniform of any kind except an orange jump suit.
