Ocean Township, New Jersey police officer Sonia Henriquez is two months pregnant. And like pretty much every other pregnant mother out there, she wants to do everything to make sure her pregnancy goes without  a hitch – like eating right, taking prenatal vitamins, NOT GETTING SHOT. But town officials aren’t as caring. Seems Officer Henriques (who, by the way, was awarded a medal of valor in December for persuading a person who was holding a loaded gun at her to surrender) requested light duty due to her pregnancy and was denied by township officials. Police Chief Antonio Amodio Jr. told the Asbury Park Press that he was following township policy when he told Officer Henriques that she had to stay on patrol or take an unpaid leave of absence. Hopefully Officer Henriquez has a good lawyer who will spank these douchebags silly.
