A Fort Worth police officer has resigned three months after being accused of offering a pizza delivery driver a break on a traffic ticket in exchange for pizzas.

Officer David Towson, who had been on the force five years, resigned in October after administrators recommended an indefinite suspension, which is the equivalent of being fired, police Lt. Abdul Pridgen said Wednesday.

Towson, who was assigned to the traffic division, was placed on restricted duty in July after a pizza driver told internal affairs investigators that Towson offered to not write her a ticket if she would take pizzas to a certain address, Pridgen said.

1. So how is this different from your Sen or Rep listening to K street?

OK, maybe it shouldn't happen anywhere, but it does! Why is this officer losing his job, when all the FEDS just go along with the lobbiests? Isn't it the same damn thing?

This cop was being very dumb risking his job for a pizza, but I don't think he should lose his job until every Fed employee does as well!
