Austin officer accused of hiring woman for sex, paying with wife's clothing
Austin American-Statesman ^ | January 03, 2008 | Tony Plohetski

During a four-month period in 2006, Austin police officer Scott Lando hired for sex a woman he'd met while investigating a report that she was assaulted, sometimes meeting her while he was on duty and at least once taking her to his house, according to a search warrant affidavit.

As part of her payment, Lando opened his wife's closet to the woman, allowing her to take a pair of black Harley-Davidson leather boots that were still in the box, jewel-studded jeans and a pink and yellow top, the affidavit said.

Lando, 45, told the woman his wife "would never miss" the clothes, according to the document.

The woman, Denise Pfeifer, also told investigators that Lando took her on shopping trips to Wal-Mart and a North Austin Payless ShoeSource, paid for a meal at a restaurant on North Lamar Boulevard and allowed her to take a bath in a whirlpool tub at his Cedar Park home, the affidavit said.

Police officials said Wednesday that Lando, who has been an officer for five years and is assigned to patrol in North Central Austin, has been placed on paid leave pending criminal and internal affairs investigations.

My guess is that he turned out to be wrong about this.

How does a woman not miss H-D leather boots? Maybe the fact that they were still in the box says something about the woman (namely her disinterest), but still...

Not nearly obscure enough...

If you want, you can look at my clothes.

They're the finest of polyester, and... I didn't pay for them.

Says something about the "caste of characters" in this story.

This woman, Pfeifer, Is one big white trash LOL for sure. Assuming her story is true. But why did she turn on Lando in the first place? He must have told her to take a hike and she said “What! No more goodies?”

He never loved her, if he really cared he would have taken her to Target.

Yep, and there aren't many "high end" restaurants on North Lamar in Austin. Quite a number of fast food places though.

THE AMAZING RHYTHM ACES lyrics - Third Rate Romance

Sittin’ at a tiny table
In a ritzy restaurant
She was starin’ at her coffee cup
He was tryin’ to keep his courage up
By applying booze
The talk was small
When they talked at all
They both knew what they wanted
There was no need to talk about it
They were old enough to scoff it out
And keep it loose
She said, you don’t look like my type
But I guess you’ll do
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
He said, I’ll even tell you
That I love you
If you want me to
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous

[Musical Interlude]

And they left the bar
They got in his car
And they drove away
He drove to the Family Inn
She didn’t even have to pretend
She didn’t know what for
Then he went to the desk
And made his request
While she waited outside
And he came back with the key
And she said, give it to me
And I’ll unlock the door

She kept sayin’
I’ve never really done
This kind of thing before
Have you
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
And he said, yes I have
But only a time or two
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous
Third rate romance
Low rent rendezvous

This ranks right up there with the Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper who filmed himself making it with the porn star he stopped for speeding, then posting it and telling his fellow troopers to take a look.

On second thought, that porn star didnt get a shopping spree to Payless Shoes and Walmart or dinner on the strip...
