Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell has officially terminated demoted police chief Adrian Diaz, who was working on special projects for the city.
In a letter to Seattle City Council, Harrell wrote that Diaz had "an intimate or romantic relationship" with a former employee, and that he had hired and directly supervised that employee. The letter also says that the employee wrote a handwritten card to Diaz "that indicates a romantic or intimate relationship took place." Diaz also talked to colleagues about "intimate interactions" with the employee, KUOW reports.
