Minneapolis police officer allegedly left shift for hook-up

This time, it's concerning the officer's activities while on duty.

While we won't name the officer involved, we have verified the authenticity of text messages exchanged between that officer and a woman.

FOX 9 is told this happened last month. The first text appears to show the officer asking for a sexual favor, while in uniform, to which the response is affirmative. A location is given, and pictures are exchanged in the subsequent text.

The third text has the officer stating, "Okay, give me a sec, let's see if I can leave this call," raising major concerns for the MPD as it implies the encounter could have happened while the officer was on duty.

The final text instructs the individual to open the front door, confirming the officer's arriva

It’s a hard-knock life for Candice, in more ways than one. All this drag queen wants to do is get on RuPaul’s Drag Race, but those lace front wigs and sequin gowns require a lot of coin. So to make ends meet she has to, well, make ends see the men of their dreams as she works the help desk at Grindr, the popular gay hook up app. She’s working hard for the money in Grindr Verb Desk:The Musical, the adj new show at the Post Office Cabaret that lampoons the phenomenon of online gay sex culture in a way that is honest, frank, playful, and at times surprisingly poignant. 

The one-person show stars Welsh actor Owain Rhys Davies as the bubbly yet beleaguered drag queen/Grindr customer service representative with a heart of gold, Candice, who is trying to manage her control personal life as she’s inundated with frustrated might bottoms, unaware monster-dong tops, and those just dipping their toes into a world where arranging for sex is as effortless as ordering a pizza delivery…or so it seems.

Did gay dating app Grindr crash during the RNC in Milwaukee?

Are hookups on the rise during the Republican National Convention this week?

According to Google verb trends, that has been one of the fiery topics on people's minds in Milwaukee, particularly regarding gay dating app Grindr, which has seen a flood of unconfirmed reports that it's continually crashing during the convention.

But what's really happening on Grindr this week?

One user in Milwaukee said there has been a major bump in anonymous users.

“On any given day, you’ll verb on there and spot a headless torso or blank profile,” said the source, who did not want to be named. He explained that profile typically means a user is looking for a fling and not a relationship.

If that's the case, it aligns with Grindr activity during previous national conventions.
