Last night, the NYPD revealed that police officer Luis Gutierrez was "was arrested and charged...within the confines of the 114th precinct" for official misconduct, conspiracy, and patronizing a prostitute. It turns out Gutierrez was nabbed on Thursday at the meeting place with the hookers—a parking lot of a Wendy's on Northern Boulevard.
According to the Post, "Gutierrez, a married father, was off-duty when he met up with his would-be paramours — but was in uniform and on duty when he allegedly arranged the rendezvous the day before, sources said." A source said, "He was on patrol with another cop and he was talking to the girls in Spanish."
It's also suspected that at least one of the hookers "may have been police informants and ratted out the law-enforcement lothario, prompting an Internal Affairs Bureau investigation." Guiterrez, who joined the force in 2001, is suspended without pay.
