Apparently this guy likes to harass celebrities:

Officer who detained Moats also arrested wife of Zach Thomas

The same Dallas police officer, who detailed Houston Texans' running back Ryan Moats while his mother-in-law was dying in a city hospital also arrested Maritza Thomas, wife of former Dallas Cowboys' linebacker Zach Thomas, after issuing her five citations, the Dallas Morning News reported.

According to The Morning News, on July 27, 2008, while her husband was at training camp with the Cowboys in Oxnard, Calif., Maritza Thomas was pulled over by Powell for an illegal U-turn near NorthPark Center.

Maritza Thomas was issued five tickets by Powell, four of which were later dismissed. Thomas was handcuffed, placed in the back of a police cruiser, spent about three hours in the Dallas County Jail and was threatened with the possibility of spending the night behind bars.

"This in no way compares to what happened to Ryan Moats and his family," said Zach Thomas, who played for the Cowboys last season and is now a free agent. "But we wanted to tell our story, not knowing how many others have been affected by Officer Powell. We know the vast majority of the Dallas police force are good and professional people, but this guy just seems excessive."

The charges that were dropped were failure to show proof of insurance, running a red light, having an improper address on a driver's license and not having a registration sticker on the windshield. She accepted deferred adjudication for the illegal U-turn charge, and her record will be cleared next month.

There is nothing worse than a bad cop.

Arresting someone for a U-turn, what a *$%$%$(% douche.

In other dirty related cop news, ANOTHER Philly cop has been arrested by the feds for selling coke. Seems this one was a big time drug dealer before he decided to don the old Philly police blues.

WTF....
