LVMPD veteran officer Peter Hervoyavich, on the job for 17 years was arrested Tuesday morning for solicitation of a prostitute while off duty. (Read the Story here)
He didn’t drive drunk at high speeds and plow into his own friends and roll his vehicle. (Metro Officer busted for DUI)
How about throw gun belts with loaded pistols over the fence, in the path of school children during inspection at a police academy (I was there). Then shoot up the inside of his house, all while at the rank of lieutenant. (He was promoted to deputy chief later)
Hervoyavich didn’t physically hurt anyone and didn’t damage any property.
Integrity and personal damage done. Plenty.
He will have to deal with the department, judicial system and worse, his family.
After being on the job for 17 years, one would think that after seeing numerous other officers involved in internal investigations for wrong doings on varying levels AND knowing the working of the department and their functions (Prostitutes, Vice Bureau…Helllo?) AND where EVERYONE knows where the street walkers work (A certain chain of “suites” are notorious for housing them). What was he thinking? Maybe he wasn’t.
Guys have been blamed for having their brains in a different location.
Should he lose his job?
Others been involved in more heinous events and gotten away with a slap on the wrist, depending on how well connected they were.
How about a recently promoted Assistant Sheriff that was found guilty of sexual harassment of two female employees as a lieutenant in 2000? The quote was “Lt. McCurdy will have to suffer the consequences of what he did”. (McCurdy Sexual Harassment Case). Yup, he’s suffering pretty well. He’s allegedly celebrating his promotion by taking an exotic cruise with his wife, who by the way, also works for Metro and was also recently promoted as a civilian employee to a “Directors” position.
Hey! Officer Hervoyavich should be a captain after all this is done, right?
