Grand Old Police Blotter: What Would Jimmy Swaggart Do Edition

From the Moonie Times, under the hed "Dirty Tricks":

Rep. Ken Calvert, California Republican, is not a happy camper. .... Until just a few days ago, the six-term lawmaker was hoping to become chairman of the House Resources Committee. Then a prankster struck.[Para.] An e-mail bearing Mr. Calvert's name � rest assured, it wasn't from the congressman � was recently sent to members of the House Steering Committee: "Welcome to the 108th Congress! As we prepare to go back to work, I thought you would enjoy knowing more about my record, including my work with law enforcement. The two links below demonstrate my work for California." [Para.] The work, the congressman's colleagues were shocked to read, surrounded Mr. Calvert's 1993 curbside encounter with a prostitute in Corona, Calif.

Police Officers Steve Sears and Fred Austin wrote in the report that Mr. Calvert was sitting in his parked car with a woman and when they arrived on the scene the congressman started up his vehicle and attempted to drive away. "I ordered him three times to turn off the vehicle, and he finally stopped and complied," one officer wrote. "I asked [the woman] if she had ever been arrested for anything, and she said, 'Yes, for prostitution and under the influence of heroin.' [She] said she had last 'shot up' approximately one week prior and is currently on methadone."

Calvert was not charged with any crime. Which is fortunate, since he might have ended up in front of one of those "left-wing extremist judges whose actions erode the moral fiber of this great nation."
