Massachusetts- [bostonist.com]- Massachusetts has a reputation for being uptight, and the state police isn’t doing us any favors. A State Police Trooper is catching static for having his picture taken with porn icon Ron Jeremy after Jeremy’s tour bus had a near-miss with a drunk driver over the weekend. According to Boston NOW, the State Police is now “reviewing” the behavior of the unnamed trooper.

Boston Magazine’s blog contacted Pastor Craig Gross for the scoop. They wrote, “Gross got a stern e-mail from the trooper today, asking that he remove the photo from his site. Gross said he’ll comply, because he never meant to get the guy in trouble.”

Why is the guy in trouble in the first place? Did the trooper catch Ron Jeremy in flagrante delicto? No, they did not. And he was traveling on a bus with a pastor and the pastor’s family. Jesus was on Jeremy’s side that night! All appearances indicate that there probably isn’t hanky-panky on the Porn Debate Tour Bus, no matter what Ron Jeremy does in his spare time.

Besides, the Trooper arrested the drunk driver. As exciting as it is to be able to say that The Hedgehog almost met his maker in Boston, the real story is that some dumbass drunk driver put a whole lot of lives in danger that night. The driver was arrested, and the Trooper did his job. If he paused to snap some photos with a legendary porn star, so be it. If you had the chance to have a photo taken with Ron Jeremy, what would you do?
