Trooper Fired for Alleged Prostitution Parties

Taggart had been suspended since April as his colleagues investigated allegations he organized parties that promoted prostitution while off duty.

Taggart was an 18 year veteran of the State Police.

The investigation has led to the suspension of two other state troopers, Frederick Franklin and Mark Hufnagel.

Though not involved in party organizing, troopers say they allegedly engaged in misconduct.
