Action in three trucking-related crimes has recently been reported by the Wyoming Highway Patrol, the New Jersey attorney general and Pennsylvania ABC affiliate WNEP, including a hotshot carrier busted for hauling marijuana, moving companies fined for not holding licenses, and a commercial vehicle enforcement officer charged after allegedly offering sex acts to a trucker in exchange for leniency on violations.
Pennsylvania enforcement officer charged with offering sex bribe to trucker
A commercial vehicle inspector employed by the Pennsylvania State Police has been charged with soliciting a sex act in return for leniency on violations during a truck inspection. The incident reportedly occurred in Dorrance Township, Pennsylvania, at a rest area on Aug. 23, according to local news station WNEP.
The report states Robert Aigeldinger, 49, allegedly offered sex to a female trucker during an inspection. The news report states that many commercial vehicle inspectors in the state are hired by Pennsylvania State Police to enforce commercial vehicle laws but are not sworn police officers and do not carry guns. Aigeldinger is reportedly one of these employees.
Aigeldinger has been suspended without pay while the investigation continues.
