What-Ex-sheriff Pleads Guilty to Forcing women to expose breasts



A former sheriff from a rural county in northwestern Missouri has pleaded guilty to coercing eight women to expose their breasts and other areas of their bodies during law enforcement searches. Neal Wayne “Bear” Groom, who served as Worth County sheriff for eight years, pleaded guilty on Wednesday in federal court in Kansas City to violating the women’s constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches.
He admitted that between May 2006 and December 2007 he coerced the women to expose parts of their bodies during purported law enforcement searches. Some of the women were photographed. The then-sheriff told the women he was checking them for injuries or evidence of drug injections. Prosecutors said Groom had no legitimate law enforcement purpose in forcing the women to expose their breasts and other areas of their bodies. Under certain circumstances, police may conduct intrusive searches when they have reasonable suspicion that a subject is concealing contraband or a weapon. Prosecutors concluded Groom was not justified in conducting his searches.

Roseville Police Deputy Chief James Berlin said the man rolled about two miles on
Groesbeck Highway
while sticking his feet outside his truck in attempts to stop it, hitting four vehicles along the way.

The chief called it a case of "moronic decision-making," reported The Detroit News.
He was unable to stop the truck at a red light at the intersection of 13 Mile and Groesbeck, ran the light and hit two vehicles, Berlin said. He continued on and hit two more at another intersection, Berlin said. He said the driver was finally stopped when an officer caught up with him and told him to put the truck in park.
