Officer Rick Johnson Fired for Having Sex with Teen



An Altoona police officer accused of having sex with a teenage girl has been fired from his job.

Just hours after Rick Johnson waived his preliminary hearing Wednesday, Altoona City Council voted unanimously to fire him, citing a violation of the city's code of conduct.

It was not immediately clear if Johnson will be eligible to collect his police pension.

Officials with the city's pension board said, as far as they are concerned, there is no reason Johnson should be denied his pension.
