Burger Craving

A 16-year-old girl says she has known Stacy Burger, 40, for five years, and considers him a “role model” and “father figure.” He asked to meet her in an alley behind her Chickasha, Okla., home and “asked her if she wants to make some money.” Well, how? He’d give her “a lot of money” to perform a sex act on him. When she refused, he asked if one of her friends might. She declined to ask any of them. When confronted by police, Burger, who is married and has four children, admitted the girl was telling the truth, but offered, “I was off duty, in my own car which wasn’t tied to my job at all.” Burger thought that mattered because he’s the Chief of Police in Cement, Okla., about a half-hour from Chickasha. He was arrested on a charge of soliciting child prostitution and, because the girl confirmed that although he wasn’t in uniform, Burger was carrying his gun “like he always does,” he was also charged with use of a firearm while committing a felony.
