No jail for ex-trooper who held parties

BUFFALO,
N.Y. (AP) - A former state trooper who was fired for organizing
off-duty parties featuring prostitutes avoided a jail sentence on
Wednesday.
Titus Taggart was sentenced in Buffalo to three years of probation and 300 hours of community service.
Taggart
pleaded guilty in Erie County Court in December to promoting
prostitution and had faced as much as a year in jail on the misdemeanor
count. The plea came eight months after the 18-year veteran was
suspended by state police as they investigated allegations that he threw
off-duty parties with prostitutes.
Judge Kenneth Case said he
decided against jailing Taggart because of the economic loss he has
already suffered by losing his job and because of a number of letters
supporting Taggart. He chastised the ex-trooper for dishonoring the
police agency.
The 42-year-old Taggart had been assigned to the
Thruway detail in Buffalo. Four other western New York troopers were
also accused of misconduct and disciplined during the investigation.
Prosecutors said Taggart's party-organizing included bringing prostitutes across the border from Canada.
One
of the parties was held in November 2011 at the New Brotherhood
Motorcycle Club. Court papers cited by the Buffalo News described a
group of men gathered to watch a pay-per-view broadcast of a boxing
match as 10 strippers performed and alcohol was illegally served.
Internal
affairs investigators who'd been tipped off about Taggart organizing
the party reported seeing the four other troopers there as well,
according to the documents.
One was fired for condoning the
illegal activity and two resigned after admitting they paid for sex
acts, the newspaper reported in December. Another remains a trooper
after being suspended for 60 days for getting drunk at the party,
according to the court documents.
Taggart is the son of retired
state police Col. Arthur Taggart, who was a special assistant to former
state police Superintendent Thomas Constantine.

Ex-trooper Taggart pleads guilty to promoting prostitution
Former state trooper faces a year in jail, $1,000 fine
Titus Z. Taggart, an 18-year veteran of the State Police who was
fired last summer after an internal investigation into allegations he
was involved with off-duty parties involving prostitutes, pleaded guilty
Monday to promoting prostitution.
Taggart, 42, of Amherst, faces
up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine after admitting to the
misdemeanor charge in Erie County Court.
Prosecutor Paul E.
Bonanno said the months-long State Police investigation revealed Taggart
organized, advertised and supervised exotic dance parties involving
dancers and prostitutes.
Taggart’s plea stemmed from such a party at 45 Miller Ave., which Bonanno described as a motorcycle club.
The
fired trooper became the subject of an investigation last December into
reports that he brought prostitutes from Canada into the United States
for off-duty parties.
Taggart was last assigned to patrol the Thruway in Western New York.
“It is an understatement to say this defendant exercised poor judgment,” Bonanno said.
The
Erie County District Attorney’s Office agreed to the plea because
Taggart’s police career is over, and he has suffered severe financial
consequences as a result of his firing, Bonanno said.
Taggart has no prior criminal history.
Taggart’s attorney, Michael G. O’Rourke, declined to comment after the court hearing.
Erie
County Judge Kenneth F. Case allowed Taggart to remain free on his own
recognizance, but Taggart was told to report immediately to the District
Attorney’s Office after the hearing to be processed.
Taggart’s
Facebook page – which was disabled April 26 after numerous photos
showing him with women and large bottles of liquor appeared in the media
– included 1,634 “friends.”
The District Attorney’s Office waited to prosecute the former trooper until after the State Police investigation was completed.
Taggart and O’Rourke heard the evidence against the trooper during that investigation, Bonanno said.
“I
think it’s fair to say the defendant and Mr. O’Rourke know the evidence
better than I do,” the prosecutor said during Monday’s 15-minute
hearing.

BUFFALO,
N.Y. (WIVB) - Three troopers have now been suspended without pay for
their alleged involvement with parties that had prostitutes.
Trooper
Titus Taggart is accused of organizing parties that involved
prostitutes while he was off-duty.
An internal investigation has been
ongoing since December of 2011, and Taggart was suspended Wednesday. The
trooper is an 18-year veteran of the force and was based out of Troop T
in Buffalo.
The picture with this story was an image Taggart
reportedly used in promotion of his alleged parties.
The Buffalo News
reports those parties included food, drinks, and "loose girls."
Investigators believe the trooper transported prostitutes from Canada
into western New York.
Later
in the day on Thursday, two other state troopers were suspended. Jeremy
Smith, 34, and Michael Petritz, 33, were both suspended without pay in
connection to the investigation. Smith, a 10-year veteran, and Petritz,
an 8-year veteran, were both based out of Troop T in Henrietta.
Authorities
say though Smith and Petritz were not involved in organizing the
alleged parties held by Taggart, but they are accused of engaging in
misconduct.
There have been no arrest in the investigation, which continues.
