PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Joy Sartin claims she kept her money in her bra because she didn't have her purse with her, and she was only offering to pay a traffic ticket with it.

A jury, however, decided the 25-year-old lingerie model was trying to bribe a police officer who had stopped her for rolling through a stop sign and other traffic infractions.

Portland police Officer Cody Berne testified that Sartin offered him $270 she withdrew from her bra when he explained her car would be towed because her license had been suspended for drunken driving.

Sartin claimed she was just in a hurry to get home to her 4-year-old son after work.
