Ex-Cop David McCallum Fights for Job After Sex with Prostitute
David McCallum

ATLANTA - The call should have been routine but it tued out to be x-rated. Atlanta's police chief told a city personnel board Tuesday, why he had to fire a young police officer after that officer had an inappropriate encounter with a young woman.

David McCallum was called to respond to an Atlanta apartment complex after the property owner complained that a prostitute was loitering on the premises.

The former officer admitted to engaging in a sex act with the woman, but contends that he should not have lost his job over the incident.

Chief George Tuer took the witness stand and described in graphic detail what went on between the officer and the woman. City lawyers defended McCallum's termination, because the unnamed woman was identified as a prostitute.

The Atlanta personnel board will weigh whether the dismissal of the officer was justified.
