Was he part of this?

"On May 30, 2007 a woman in jail on prostitution charges was pulled from her cell by a Bradenton police internal affairs officer and taken to police headquarters, according to jail records.

For three hours, Dawn Marie Gibson said she described to the investigators how she had sex numerous times with on-duty Bradenton police officers in a patrol car, at a substation and in alleyways.

She said the officers gave her money and crack cocaine and offered her protection from arrest in exchange for the sex acts. The head of the police department's internal affairs division acknowledged that Gibson was taken from jail and interviewed.

The day after the interview, Bradenton officer William Anderson resigned. Two days later, officer Larry Pritchett resigned.

At about that time, decorated undercover agent Pete Biddlecome took a leave of absence. He resigned five weeks later, despite a service record that included recognition as officer of the year.

For weeks, Police Chief Michael Radzilowski refused to discuss Gibson, her allegations or even whether there was a formal investigation into the actions of Anderson or Pritchett. Radzilowski has long said there is an active internal affairs investigation regarding Biddlecome.

On Friday, the chief acknowledged that Gibson was interviewed and he said that at least some of her statements about having sex with officers are believed to be true.

Radzilowski said Pritchett and Anderson were never under formal investigation because they resigned before supervisors could initiate an inquiry into possible misconduct. Biddlecome resigned after the inquiry was started.

Anderson and Pritchett did not make statements to police officials; Biddlecome made a statement, addressing an allegation of misconduct that happened two years ago, police said.

All three officers, who cited "personal reasons" as the impetus for their resignations, worked in a street crimes unit that targets low-level offenses such as drug peddling and prostitution.

Gibson, 30, is an admitted prostitute and drug addict who has been arrested four times in the past seven months and recently gave up her four children for adoption. Gibson said she came to know the officers involved after an officer approached her about becoming an informant, an offer she says she refused."
