NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) - A former police officer has pleaded not guilty to showing up at a Southern California massage parlor wearing a badge and a gun and demanding a free rubdown and cash for his "inspection" of the business.
Edward Justin LaPorte - who is accused of posing as an inspector - got a 30-minute backrub, police say. He then is accused of requesting a frontal massage and $200.
The manager of the Golden Spa was suspicious about the supposed quality-control check and called Lake Forest licensing offices.
LaPorte, 47, left when a real inspector arrived and started asking questions, police say. LaPorte then allegedly fled and was tracked down by his license plate number.
