A former Central Texas police officer has been arrested on suspicion of seven felony counts, including child pornography and prostitution charges.

Hoskins, who previously worked with Meissner, had accused the other man of being a “gypsy cop” who jumped from department to department. He and other officers even launched a Web site about their complaints about Meissner.

Meissner has also been charged with aggravated promotion of prostitution, sexual performance by a child, criminal possession of child pornography and engaging in organized criminal activity in Tarrant County.

Monday highlights and the day ahead
U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison did not take part Monday in an overwhelming Senate vote to withhold federal funding from ACORN, the increasingly controversial community organization. On Monday evening, she attended a fundraiser at the Dallas-area home of former Dallas Cowboy Roger Staubach.
The Senate voted 83-7 to deny funding and community grants to ACORN, which stands for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. The organization has faced a series of setbacks over the last year, including the recent circulation of videos in which some of its employees gave tax-avoidance advice to conservative activists posing as pimps and prostitutes. The organization is also the subject of voter-fraud investigations.

A former police officer who worked for over a dozen departments in Texas is behind bars Tuesday, held on numerous felony charges including engaging in organized criminal activity, promotion of prostitution, solicitation of minors and two counts of attempting to possess child pornography.
Activist and filmmaker Barry Cooper, who is producing a reality show called “KopBusters,” aided officers with the Combine Police Department in drawing the man out into the open, ultimately helping wrap a three-year investigation in the process.
Until late last month, Michael Meissner, 39, was chief of police in Little River-Academy, Texas, a town so small that it only had one officer. He resigned his post after residents of the small town packed city hall with complaints about his behavior, according to local reports.
Meissner called the town “a good stepping stone for me,” reported Temple Daily News, which noted that the former officer held 18 different law enforcement jobs over the last 14 years. The “gypsy cop,” said Dallas television station WFAA, “seemed to operate under his own rules, spending much of his time working off-duty security jobs 60 miles away in Dallas.”
