Man says he's porn inspector, demands free videos
56 minutes ago
LONGMONT, Colo. - A man claiming to be a police detective tried to get an adult novelty shop to give him free X-rated videos, saying he wanted to make sure the performers weren't underage, authorities said.
He made three tries within nine days last month and was turned down each time. The store manager called police after the third try. Authorities said Monday that the man showed a badge and left a business card from the Longmont police "age verification unit." Cmdr. Tim Lewis said there is no such unit.
"It was inventive on his part, I'll give him that," Lewis said.
The business card didn't have anyone's name on it, but the store gave officers surveillance video of the man. Police are looking for him.

BOONTON, N.J. - A car door and a stack of personal papers left behind at an accident scene helped authorities in Morris County track down an alleged drunk driver. Boonton police said a 20-year-old woman struck a utility pole at about 4:30 a.m. Sunday, then drove off.
Officers then responded to the scene and found the door of a 1996 Chevrolet Cavalier and several papers bearing the woman's name and address.
A short time later, Denville police reported that the woman had crashed a 1996 Chevy Cavalier with a missing door into a stone wall about two miles farther down Valley Road.
The woman, who was treated at an area hospital for minor injuries, faces charges of drunken driving, underage drunken driving and numerous motor vehicle violations.
