Las Vegas Metro Officer Facing Charges For Relaxing A Little TOO Much

CAUTION: Adult content - and a bizarre story, that sounds like something from the Mike and Carla Morning Show, Other News.

We all know police officers have very hard - err, tough - jobs. It's only natural that they might need a massage once in a while, to loosen up, right?

Unfortunately one LVMPD officer has a literal mess on his hands, and has been accused of loosening up a little too much during a chiropractic massage.

LVMPD Officer Richard Landahl faces lewdness charges after the victim told police he - well - took care of his own business during their massage.

On Sept. 20, the victim said she met with Officer Landahl at the business, and he asked her to be his therapist for that day’s appointment. The victim told the officer to undress privately. When she returned, he was facedown wearing his underwear, the complaint alleged.

The report says that Landahl pulled a 'DIY' during his treatment. She stopped the massage when she reqlized what he was doing. She said she'd return, then told employees and the chiropractor to what was going on. While the chiropractor told the victim to leave, Officer Landahl left the room with his clothing on, the report alleged.

When the chiropractor went in to see Landahl, he said he was having "marital troubles" and didn’t want his wife to know. He apologized for making the victim uncomfortable but explained he "was chilly." (Insert whaaaaat? emoji here)

Landahl “indicated anxiety” when he knew it would be reported to his job. When asked to leave, he said he needed to go to his private room to grab some belongings, but then he had a panic attack and began pacing. When the doctor entered, he begged for privacy, the report says.

It just gets more odd: a few minutes later Landahl left the room with a bottle of hand sanitizer. As if to indicate THAT was the culprit. The doctor told police the sanitizer shouldn’t have exploded on the massage table because it was “not that near.”

The doctor found remnanats of Landahl's 'handywork' on the massage table sheet when she cleaned the room. (And you think YOU had a bad day!)

Landahl learned that police were at the firm on Sept. 22. He told police he "fell asleep" during a chiropractor’s massage. When the massage therapist discovered what happened, he apologized. Landahl told the officer he “realized his [evidence] was on the sheets” and tried to clean it with hand sanitizer.

Landahl’s DNA and massage table sheets were retained for forensics testing. He refused a police interview, and has not been arrested, or booked by police, as of this writing.

Officer Landahl has worked for LVMPD for nearly 5 years in the Spring Valley Area Command. He's been suspended with pay, pending criminal and internal investigations.

Gentlemen, seriously - if you need to debug your hard drive, do it at home.
