A member of the Detroit Board of Police Commissioners who was caught in a car with a prostitute by law enforcement is claiming that the incident is a "big misunderstanding."

Wayne County Sheriff’s Office deputies say they found Bryan Ferguson in his car at about 7:15 a.m. Wednesday in Detroit engaging in a sex act with a prostitute, the Detroit Free Press reported. Undercover narcotics officers were in the area at that time and saw Ferguson with a woman who was known to them.

Ferguson has denied the allegations as a "big misunderstanding."

"I’m done talking about it, that’s just not what happened," he told the Detroit Free Press.

Ferguson claims that a woman whom he did not know tried to get into his truck on Wednesday morning when law enforcement "just pulled up right on me."

"This is rough. This is rough to tell. Because now I’m going to have to have this conversation with my family," Ferguson said, adding that he had told the deputies that he is police commissioner and wasn’t "hiding anything."

Wayne County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Jason Bates said that Ferguson had asked law enforcement on the scene whether they could "help him out."

"At that time, Mr. Bryan Ferguson stepped out, identified himself as a Detroit police commissioner," Bates told Fox 2 Detroit. "A title or position doesn't make them above the law."

Ferguson was issued a misdemeanor citation for indecent or obscene conduct involving a sex act with a prostitute, Bates told the Detroit Free Press.

Ferguson is expected to resign from his position on the Detroit Board of Police Commissioners, Fox 2 Detroit reported.

Ferguson, who previously served as chair of the police watchdog group, released a statement Wednesday saying that he would take a step back from participating in board meetings.

"Today, multiple media outlets released information alleging ‘indecent conduct’ this morning. The allegation is untrue and the situation is a big misunderstanding," Ferguson said in his statement.

"I do not want this personal matter to become a distraction from the important oversight work this board has to do. For that reason, I am making the decision to step back from the board meetings for a time."

Hey, give the man a break! He was doing some serious "undercover work". To charge a prostitute of a crime, he has to show that she had the means to be a prostitute, the motive to be a prostitute and the opportunity!

Now the commissioner will have an open and shut case - just sounds like good police work to me!

Here is a statement Ferguson released Thursday announcing the resignation:

"It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the residents of Detroit in police oversight. After further consideration of the best interests of my family and the board, I am choosing to resign. Again, I admonish the board and the public to remain focused on the important work of oversight, transparency and accountability."

Admonish?

BITCH SET ME UP!

Well, he did promise to bring the prostitutes to their knees at any cost, so …

“… he is police commissioner and wasn’t "hiding anything." Except maybe ‘hide the sausage’.

The commish -- he was probably going to hand the results of his research to the vice squad.

I get that the "undercover work" and "vice squad" comments are jokes, but it may be helpful to note that this guy wasn't a Police Commissioner in the sense of something like Batman's Commissioner Gordon or TV's "The Commish". In those examples, Police Commissioner is the title sometimes given to the senior leadership position within some police departments, akin to a Police Chief in other departments.

But this guy's not a law enforcement officer at all, and isn't the Police Chief/Commissioner that heads up the police department.

Instead, he is one of 11 elected civilian "commissioners" who sit on a civilian oversight board for Detroit PD. They do stuff like approve policies and budgets, and investigate citizen complaints. Sorta like a school board, just for a police department instead of a school district.

I always thought dudes who pick up prostitutes in company vehicles were dumb. This guy ups the ante.

Maybe it was a Ride-Along?

So let me get this straight…

The prostitute “tried to get in his truck”, she tripped/fell while attempting to do so, and her “oral area” landed on his penis, which coincidentally, had been “accidentally” exposed from the confines of his clothing.

OK…that’s gonna make one helluva police report. Just sayin’…

In my experience in emergency services, typically when people fall (oddly enough usually naked) things end up lodged in the southern orifice. It's always an accident and usually a misunderstanding on how it REALLY happened.

"Million to one shot, Doc! Million to one."

I thought she just needed a ride. Next thing I know . . .

Don’t you know who I am?

Maybe contact Hugh Grant on how he handled it.

Sounds reasonable.
