Trooper Faces Decertification Over Stalking Allegations | Seattle News

A Washington State Patrol trooper faces serious allegations of stalking his ex-girlfriend, a deputy sheriff, including threats of violence and harm to her dog. Despite being prohibited from owning firearms since April — the same month she obtained a protection order — GPS data shows him repeatedly driving past her home. His attorney claims the visits were coincidental. The case raises urgent questions about accountability in law enforcement and the need for robust protections for survivors. The Justice Training Commission will decide soon whether to proceed with his decertification, while his criminal trial is set for October — a moment that could reshape public trust in policing.
