A southern California police officer resigned from his job after he found himself locked in the backseat of his own cruiser with a woman he had just arrested.
The incident and the resignation both happened last summer, but the story became public last week when the San Diego CBS affiliate KFMB-TV obtained audio transcripts and video of the routine arrest-turned-bizarre incident.
The outlet reported San Diego Police Department officer Anthony Hair arrested a woman who had been suspected of car theft along with another individual.
Hair had been tasked with transporting the unnamed woman to the Las Colinas Detention Center.
The trip was delayed, and Hair eventually radioed a fellow officer to inform him he was stuck in the backseat of his car with the woman.
An investigation into how the officer ended up in the situation was immediately launched.
Per KFMB, on the morning of Aug. 15, 2023, Hair and the woman could be heard casually talking as he drove her to the women’s jail.
Audio from Hair’s body camera caught the woman asking him, “Are you married?”
Hair replied, “Why are you asking that?”
Is California getting worse?
The woman responded, “You’re not too bad. What’s it gonna hurt me if I work the system, you know what I mean? That’s the way I see s***.”
Per the video, Hair continued driving, but his body camera microphone picked up what KFMB described as “moans” from behind him.
A transcript of the conversation between Hair and his arrestee showed she then asked him, ”Are you single?”
The officer said he was single, and the conversation, per KFMB, then became “illicit.”
WARNING: The following video contains explicit language that may offend some readers.
The woman propositioned the officer for sex, but Hair turned her down.
“Don’t say that right now,” he reportedly said to the woman, adding, “Don’t say that right now because everything is being recorded right now.”
What happened next led to Hair being locked in the backseat with the woman.
Per KFMB, at 1:34 a.m. after Hair asked the woman what she was doing in his backseat, he slowed down, parked on a residential street near the women’s jail and turned off his body camera.
Twenty minutes later, he radioed a fellow officer for assistance in letting him out of the backseat where he was trapped.
At 2:40 a.m., a supervisor set him free.
Hair said during an investigation that he became trapped in the backseat after he pulled over to check on the woman and that nothing happened between them. He also claimed his body camera was turned off by accident.
Both the officer and the woman denied that any sexual interaction had occurred, but KFMB reported San Diego Police investigators said they found semen on Hair’s clothing.
He resigned from the department on Sept. 14 of last year after two years on the job.
During the investigation, the officer that Hair had called for assistance told his superiors that Hair sounded “panicky” when he told him he was stuck in the backseat of the cruiser.
Hair has not been accused of a crime.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
Sincerely,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
