Stoughton cop quits after strip club visit with ‘smallest’ porn star
A Stoughton cop has resigned after hitting a strip joint on duty to try and meet “the world’s smallest porn star,” putting an unapproved laser scope on his gun and lying to investigators, the town’s police chief told the Herald today.
Officer Richard P. Bennett, 28, has stepped down after five officers reported he left his patrol to go to Alex’s gentleman’s club to meet “Bridget the Midget,” a 3-foot, 9-inch tall porn star, Stoughton Police Chief Paul Shastany said.
Bennett, who was honored by the department in June for his work in helping catch an accused killer, also installed a laser sight on his department-issued handgun and then lied to investigators, the chief said.

Of the strip club visit, Shastany said: “He went there and left his beat and wanted to meet this person.”
