Spitzer wanted space from troopers

 

 

The directive was sent to state troopers in western New York, reminding them that then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer liked his privacy at night. Capt. Lisa Gailbraith instructed the troopers, who did not travel with the governor as much as their Albany counterparts, to "keep a low profile at the hotel." "Apparently the last trip to Rochester the governor walked out of his room to find trooper or inv(estigator) in the hallway," Gailbraith wrote. "Please inform whoever the (overnight shift) is that they should not be hanging around in the governor's hallway."

"Loughran said that Spitzer was also known for trying to 'sneak out' at night to evade the ESD members and it was understood that Spitzer did not like the security detail at all," according to a summary of her interview. Loughran, who retired last year, also told investigators about an undated incident when Spitzer, as governor, was followed to a Manhattan hotel by a trooper assigned to protect him. The trooper had been "tipped off by a doorman" and followed Spitzer, without his knowledge, to the Carlyle Hotel on the city's upper East Side. In February 2008, Loughran said, a trooper notified her that Spitzer had left his hotel room in Washington, D.C. That same week, according to federal authorities, Spitzer paid $4,300 to a prostitute who came to his hotel in Washington.
