LA VERGNE, Tenn. (WSMV/Gray News) – An investigation has revealed several La Vergne police officers were having sex with each other – some while on the job and inside city-owned property.
The investigation started Dec. 12 after Mayor Jason Cole received information from a source that Officer Maegan Hall was having intimate relationships with other members of the La Vergne Police Department. Those employees include St. Lewis Powell, Officer Patrick Magliocco, Officer Larry Holladay, Detective Seneca Shields and Officer Juan Lugo-Perez, according to the report.
All of the men admitted to having undisclosed sexual relationships with Hall, the investigative report said. Shields told city officials Hall performed oral sex on him while they were on duty inside the police department gym before returning to their desks to finish the workday.
“This situation is unacceptable, and as soon as it was brought to our attention, it was immediately investigated, and action was taken upon the individuals involved,” Cole said in a statement. “Our top priority moving forward will include rebuilding the public’s trust. I have full confidence in the police department’s leadership team and their ability to lead the department. We will be retraining all of our employees in the rules, regulations, and expectations set forth by city leadership.
