CANTON, Ohio—The police chief of a northeast Ohio township has retired after a video became public showing him and a female officer kissing and caressing in the front of a police cruiser while a prisoner was in the back seat.
Timothy Escola retired Tuesday night after four years with the Perry Township police department about 50 miles south of Cleveland. Law Director Charles Hall says Escola’s retirement closes an internal investigation.
Hall says no charges are being considered against part-time officer Janine England, who was with Escola in the cruiser June 2.
Escola and England drove to the Cincinnati area to pick up a burglary suspect.
An anonymous allegation prompted an investigation last week and a review of the cruiser’s dashboard camera.

seriously, am i the only one that finds in puzzling they turned the camera around to face themselves? Like I said earlier the camera is intended to record activity outside the cruiser, it is almost as it they wanted someone to see it.
i may be mistaken, but marriage seems to be a high probable cause of why they chose to partake in such actions while on the job.
yeah Laura, I don’t think “It wasnt what it looks like” will work on that one…
There was no allegation that the car was in motion at the time of the cheek caress. At least the cheeks were the appropriate ones.
Hope for their sakes that neither are married! Try explaining that one!
It’s Canton, OH for God’s sake - what do you expect! But now there is a job opening for former AG Dann.
do you think the chief showed her proper handcuffing technique?
We are not worrying about what other people are doing, we are making fun of them! If they were concerned about what other people would say, then…THEY WOULDN’T HAVE DONE IT IN FRONT OF A CAMERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
terry, I don’t care that it happened I just find it funny thats all
the chief was administering a special breathalyzer test to the female officer
