Site Search

Fayetteville, N.C. — Fayetteville police arrested a Raleigh police officer Thursday and charged him with promoting and participating in the prostitution of a minor.

Sgt. Jason Brandon Hoyle, 34, of 8609 Maryel Way, was being held under a $100,000 unsecured bond on the two felonies.

Fayetteville police also arrested a 17-year-old Fayetteville girl and charged her with misdemeanor solicitation for prostitution. Her bond information was not available.

Police said Hoyle was one of the girl's clients and saw her on Feb. 7. He has been with the Raleigh Police Department since October 2000 and is assigned to the detective division.

Raleigh police released a statement Thursday saying Fayetteville police kept them informed during the investigation and that they are doing an internal investigation to determine "appropriate personnel actions."

"Ummmm...It's called the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Equal treatment under the law." - Duke _Nukem

It can also be called mitigating circumstances, which some laws have. If you chose to pursue a law enforcement job, and you break the law, that's a mitigating factor in a harsher punishment.

Tell you what would work for me, let cops stand up nationwide and propose a law that doubles the fines and penalties for cops convicted of crimes....I won't be holding my breath.......

Ummmm...It's called the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Equal treatment under the law. So should we hold minorities who commit higher crime rates for their population the same way????

When a LEO breaks the law, the law he swore an oath to uphold, he should be severly punished. We place LEO's on a pedastel because they should, and do for the most part, represent the finest human beings in the community. However, part of their job is to lead by example, especially to our youth....and when they break the laws...we should throw the book at them.
