• Cop fired after asking for date
  
  A Chandler police officer has been fired after he pulled over a woman under the guise of a traffic stop but instead asked her out on a date.
  
  Following an internal investigation, Officer Nathan Dixon, 37, was dismissed in late August - the second Chandler officer to be fired this year.
  
  The woman called the Professional Standards Section of the Chandler Police Department on July 12 and told them she was pulled over on July 8 at 2:15 a.m. by an officer in a marked patrol car who asked her out on a date, according to a dismissal letter to Dixon from Chandler police Chief Sherry Kiyler.
  
  
  Police confirmed the incident when the woman also presented a note Dixon allegedly wrote with his phone number on it, said Sgt. Rick Griner, a Chandler police spokesman.

I have thought how it must be tough your first few months as a cop because eveyone seems suspious too me- I would be pulling everyone over at first, but I hadn't even thought of the "ask out/pullover". FWIW, I would have sufficient composure to not write the note.

Nathan Dixon? His parents must not have said his name out loud before putting it down on the birth certificate.
