Philly.com – One prostitute named Angelina, according to allegations laid out in a letter written last month by the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office, met a cop she didn’t have to dodge, though – an officer who had access to heroin and was allegedly willing to trade it for sex for the past 16 months. The letter, obtained by the Daily News on Wednesday, details a lengthy investigation into the conduct of Thomas W. Smith, an officer with the Camden County Sheriff’s Department who was in charge of the evidence room. The letter, addressed to Smith’s attorney, said the investigation found that he was a familiar face at the Broadway “shack” where Angelina often crashed with other prostitutes. Smith would pick the woman up, “wearing his duty vest, badge and firearm,” the Prosecutor’s Office alleged in the letter, and often would exchange heroin for oral sex. Smith always came to the shack alone, prostitutes told investigators, and one alleged that Smith once pulled out his penis there and asked her to perform oral sex on him, while Angelina did the same to her. Smith denied the allegations when confronted by investigators, and as of Wednesday night, he had not been charged with any crime. “When initially confronted with the allegation that he was having sex and supplying heroin to prostitutes, Officer Smith sarcastically replied, ‘Want my gun now?’ “ Assistant Camden County Prosecutor Mark Chase wrote in the letter. The Prosecutor’s Office claimed to have recorded phone conversations and text messages between Smith and Angelina, and according to the letter, the office believed that the investigation would result in an indictment with charges of official misconduct that could have landed Smith five to 10 years in prison.

Best part of the story has to be his sarcastic “Want my gun now?” comment when he was approached about the allegations, as if he knew that everybody would get a huge chuckle out of it. Like “Who hasn’t gotten a dope whore blowie around here? No way they can fire me for this. Officer Stevens used his pistol as a dildo on a hooker in a school zone — I’ll be outta here in no time.” I bet they all had a hearty cackle at the sky when they read this ho’s story.

But it would be far too easy to just label these officers as bad guys and write them off as part of the problem. I’m sure most of them (who are left) do very good work and all that — you just have to remember that they’re Camden police officers. Their job is one of the shittiest jobs imaginable. Patrol the streets of one of the nation’s most dangerous cities with very little backup and horrible pay? Of course these guys are selling drugs and getting blowjays on the side. Something has to even out. If it were me I’d be the Sam Hurd-style Camden drug police kingpin. Put my life on the line going against violent, armed, and reckless youths for $40,000 a year? Hell yeah my lunch break would include some stress-relieving dope head fellatio.

Making a hooker eat out another hooker is pretty damned mean, though. Disease city.
