WEST ORANGE, N.J., Feb. 14 (UPI) -- A police officer's night job as "Club Soda Kenny," a standup comic specializing in bathroom humor could cost him his day job.
The West Orange Police Department suspended Sgt. John Feder last week after someone sent the City Council a compact disc of his act. Feder, who was an investigator with the internal affairs division, now faces internal charges of his own.
"He's been a hard-working, productive detective for a long, long time," Police Chief James P. Abbott told the New York Times. "But we have a code of conduct for a reason."
The department claims that Feder used an office computer to write a monologue and violated a regulation requiring officers to notify the department about second jobs. Feder's lawyer, Paul Bergrin, says the case is about freedom of speech and believes that the CD came from a police officer Feder investigated.
Feder got into standup through another moonlighting job, as a bodyguard for Andrew Dice Clay. He even took his stage name from Clay's on-stage order to him -- "Get me a club soda, Kenny."
