Georgia cop with a history of misconduct resigns after being caught on video getting blowjob in uniform

A police officer in the small town of Georgia has resigned from the police force after a viral video surfaced of him receiving oral sex from an unidentified woman in a uniform.

The video, posted to social media by TikTok user Dillon Cole, shows the unsuspecting lawman, identified as Millen Police Officer Larry “Benjamin” Thompson, engaging in sex with the unidentified woman outdoors behind his police vehicle.

The damning footage was filmed by Cole from a telecoms tower in Millen without the officer’s knowledge and was posted to the social media site earlier this month.

‘Police caught on camera!!!’ wrote Cole, a telecom pole technician whose job typically requires him to scale the looming structures — a pastime the worker frequently chronicles on social media.

However, the aerial footage of Thompson, posted by Cole on March 20 and re-shared twice since then, garnered significantly more attention than other videos on the worker’s account – amassing more than 16 million total views as of Tuesday.

Thompson was identified by his superiors at the Millen Police Department earlier this week, spurring the officer to resign ahead of a meeting with Police Commissioner Dwayne Herrington over the video, the department said.

Following the officer’s resignation, a record of his past misconduct – including a case in 2019 where the officer crashed into an elderly driver and killed him while responding to a call, and another where he accidentally shot a colleague in 2017 – has now come to light.

In 2019, local broadcaster WRDW-TV reported that in Millen, a small town of 3,500 people about 75 miles northwest of Savannah, Thompson dismembered a car containing T-Bones while rushing to a crime scene, killing a 76-year-old . old man driving the vehicle.

In 2017, Thompson shot another officer in the arm in what one incident report describes as an “accidental firing.” According to the filing, Thompson claimed he was cleaning his gun when it jammed and went off.

The findings report claimed the gun had no malfunctions that would result in an accidental discharge and classified Thompson as “negligent.”

In their report on the incident, the department’s Criminal Investigation Department wrote: “Although it is described as an ‘accidental dismissal’, it is essentially a ‘negligent dismissal’.”

Most recently, in 2021, a woman he had a previous relationship with told police he was harassing her.

When questioned by department heads about the allegations, Thompson admitted using the woman’s tags to find her new address after she moved and claimed he tried to return some old items to her, such as a Summary of the case shows.

He was then suspended for two days, the filing shows, and had to complete a police-ordered GBI security awareness training course.

Because Thompson did not face severe penalties for these investigations, records of the violations do not appear in the state’s Peace Officer Standards and Training Council (POST) records, which typically contain such violations.

The only information listed on Thompson’s profiles is his work experience, a promotion in 2020 — a year after the fatal accident — and his voluntary resignation on March 21, the day after the video was posted.

Violations are only reported to POST if the officer is fired, resigns as part of an investigation, or is suspended for more than 30 days.

“Some agencies have a very low tolerance for some types of arrests, and others could have a much higher sentence,” Georgia POST Assistant General Manager Chris Harvey told WRDW Monday of the officer’s checkered record.

‘There really is no standard for policy and policy enforcement across the state.’
