STAMFORD, Conn. - A former Stamford police officer has
been sentenced to 20 days in jail for lewd conduct
involving a toy banana. Arthur Bertana, 63, was
ordered to serve a 4 1/2 year prison term suspended
after 20 days and one year of probation.

Bertana, who had been on probation for lewd conduct in
Stamford more than four years ago, was arrested in
March after police said he placed a toy banana in his
pants and flashed people on a main Greenwich Ave.

Police said he would place a shopping bag in front of
his pants, exposing a bulge to women in a sexually
offensive manner.

"It was a yellow, plush, child's toy banana," Sgt.
Roger Petrone Jr. said at the time of Bertana's
arrest. "It had a smiley face on it."

At least it was a happy banana, and not one of those angry ones!
