A Pasco County Florida Highway Patrol trooper resigned Wednesday after being accused of having sex with a crash victim while on the job.
Robert Abruzzese claims Trooper Scott Maus had an affair with his wife and claims one incident happened while Maus was working.
Abruzzese claims his wife and Trooper Maus met while Maus was investigating a Dec. 8 crash involving his wife on Date Palm Boulevard in Port Richey, around the corner from their house.
The husband claims Maus followed his wife home to make sure she was OK. He claims that’s when the two exchanged numbers and began to communicate through text messages.
Abruzzese allegedly found text messages between the two on his wife’s phone on Friday, Dec. 22.
He claims he discovered that they met up at Magnuson Hotel on Highway US-19 in New Port Richey on Wednesday, Dec. 20.
On Thursday, Dec. 21, Abruzzese claims his wife met Maus at the Walgreen’s on the corner of Little Road and followed him in his patrol vehicle to an abandoned building and allegedly had sex in the back seat of the patrol car while in uniform.
Abruzzese said he filed a complaint with Florida Highway Patrol Friday, hours after discovering the text messages.
In one exchange Maus allegedly wrote, “I love your hair and that dress. It really shows off your curves.” Abruzzese’s wife responded, “You look hot in your uniform. I would love to see you with the hat on too.”
