LAW & DISORDER

FUN WITH ROPES:

HGTV Design Star's star Michael Verdugo is suing to get his old job back.  A cop.  We posted on ALL of this earlier.

He appeared in a gay video tied up and the video had some S&M elements and the Florida police department fired him when they found this out.  The police department also faulted him for not being forthcoming on his job application about this porn tape.

Any way the lad is suing, according to The Porn Times (okay, quit laughing... all our sources can't be The New York Times or Conde Nast!!!):

Mr. Verdugo is asking attorney Alberto Milan “to file a civil lawsuit against Hollywood police for wrongful termination and discrimination,” the paper reports. “When you’re a gay cop in a paramilitary organization like law enforcement, a lot of discrimination exists. He was a damn good cop,” Mr. Milan said. “This guy was an asset and there’s no doubt his talents were very useful to the people of Hollywood.”

City officials maintain Verdugo was terminated for not revealing during his application process to become a police officer that he had performed in an adult film. Mr. Verdugo says it never occurred to him to mention the adult work and maintains “that if a male cop appeared nude in a straight porn film his police buddies would be ‘high-fiving him in the hallway.’ ”

Today he owns and operates several interior design and home-staging companies and currently dates “a field training officer for Pembroke Pines police.”
