Try as he might, 44-year-old Kevin Fant couldn't get off. The former transit officer was sentenced to two months in jail this week, punishment for masturbating in a Philadelphia subway car while off-duty last year.

Authorities first learned of Fant's abnormal passion for his job in October, when transit police were forwarded a video of their colleague working his beat off-hours. Fant was suspended immediately and later fired.

In court, Fant's defense attorney argued that it may have been the video, not his client, that was grossly manipulated. Municipal Judge Karen Yvette Simmons was not persuaded, convicting Fant of open lewdness and indecent exposure on Thursday.

According to the Philadelphia Daily News, the dependably self-reliant ex-cop will begin serving his jail time on weekends and was told to turn himself April 17.
