Officer John Wood told two women in East Portland he would arrest them for driving under the influence if they did not show him their underwear, and repeatedly asked a heroin addict in SE who was shooting up at the time to show him her “pubic bone tattoo” for identification purposes, according to the cops’ official investigation into his behavior, released to coincide with Wood’s resignation today.

“He was asking me, like, to show him, like, he was asking us both perverted questions,” said one of the ‘DUI’ victims. “And then he was also, like, trying to get me to show him my boobs.”

Wood also preyed on a homeless heroin user in SE Portland, repeatedly asking the woman, who was “shooting up” in a truck with her boyfriend at the time, to show him a tattoo on her pubic bone, ignoring her obvious drug use as he pursued his perverted sexual thrill.

“And, uh, her syringe at one point even fell out right in front of him, you know,” the woman’s boyfriend told investigating detectives. “And he saw it and he didn’t take it from her or anything like that…I was really surprised he didn’t do anything about the syringe.”

Wood resigned this afternoon after a bargaining process with the Bureau. He could have chosen to remain on paid administrative leave while his case was further investigated internally, but instead, pled guilty to two misdemeanor charges following a grand jury’s decision to indict him for prosecution on charges of criminal misconduct in the first degree.

“We have an extensive hiring process including a psychological assessment and background check,” said Chief Rosie Sizer at a press conference this afternoon. “That being said, it is not a perfect system, and occasionally there are circumstances where we’re embarrassed.”

“It’s a substantial thing when an officer pleads guilty to a crime,” Sizer said, describing Wood’s behavior as an “aberration.” “This serves as a reminder to citizens what they feel is inappropriate behavior by a Portland Police Officer to contact the Independent Police Review (IPR).”

The cops’ internal investigation, launched in response to an official complaint lodged with the IPR by two of Wood’s victims, uncovered no further victims of his bizarre behavior, but Chief Sizer encouraged anyone else affected by it to come forward.
