  1. TODAY– Former Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz was terminated Tuesday for allegations of having a relationship with a former staffer and lying about it.

    Diaz and Jamie Tompkins, the former director of communications, denied having a romantic relationship.

    1. Some of the names have been redacted, but in reading this PDF you can figure where it speaks about Jamie Tompkins and her relationship with the chief. HOT STUFF!
      I think it is safe to say that Jamie Tompkins does not have a future in Seattle tv news anymore.

      Adrian, When I think about you, I think of the first time I saw you smile. You were
      so shy, but sweet. And I loved the way you chose your words so carefully. I
      wondered what you were filtering out. What made you tick? What made you laugh?
      Why would a person want to take on such a challenging role? Now that I know you,
      I know the answers to those questions. What I did not expect was how knowing you
      would bring me closer to me. More in line with who I am. How I feel. What I want.
      Where I want to go. Before I knew you, I didn’t really know me. You woke me up.
      Like a prince in one of your Disney movies. I hope I always know your kiss. I hope
      I always feel your influence. I hope to always know you and me. I love you, Me.

  2. The Office of Police Accountability launched an investigation into Diaz after several people filed complaints alleging that he and Tompkins had a romantic relationship and that he hired her as a subordinate without disclosing that relationship.

    Rumors about Diaz and Tompkins had been swirling for months when KUOW first reported on the allegations publicly, without naming Tompkins. Less than a day after KUOW’s initial report, Diaz fired an employee he accused of inventing the rumor, and the department circulated an internal HR investigation alleging that the employee confessed that he had fabricated the rumor.

    I can’t wait for the Netflix movie.
