City officials’ attempt to hide the investigation of strip club debacle signals that lying is acceptable behavior.
William Tognozzi, who was the San Jose fire captain in charge of the firetruck, later claimed to investigators that the purpose of the outing was to transport a photographer to the Pink Poodle strip club, where he worked, so he could retrieve a flash drive with photos of firefighters.San Jose firefighters’ explanations for the events the night they took a bikini-clad woman from the Pink Poodle strip club on a joy ride in a city firetruck are simply not credible.
The report, released Monday, shows that only the captain in charge of the firetruck team, William Tognozzi, was investigated for the inappropriate use of the critical life-saving vehicle. Tognozzi was subsequently demoted. San Jose’s code of ethics requires that all city employees “demonstrate the highest standards of personal integrity, honesty and conduct in all activities in order to inspire public confidence and trust.” City officials’ response to the Pink Poodle fiasco makes a mockery of that mandate.
The clearest deception stems from what happened next. The firefighters claimed to investigators that they then returned on the firetruck straight back to the station. It curious that, in those statements, they all claimed that the bikini-clad woman brought out the flash drive. But in subsequent interviews with investigators there’s ambiguity as to whether the photographer went into the strip club to retrieve it.
