Lynnwood deputy police chief f
Paul C. Watkins, the Lynnwood deputy police chief who pleaded guilty last week to stealing money and property from the department's evidence room, was fired today, according to a news release from the department's chief.
Watkins, 50, who was with the department for more than 20 years, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to stealing money from the department, a federally funded local agency. Police and prosecutors allege that Watkins stole $70,000 to $120,000 over four years while he was commander of the department's Criminal Investigative Division.
The money he admitted to taking had been previously seized by Lynnwood officers during criminal investigations, usually drug busts, and was supposed to be forfeited to the city or returned to its owners.
In a statement issued today, Lynnwood Chief of Police Steven J. Jensen said Watkins had been a trusted and respected member of the department, and it was a "shock to our employees and many others that he had chosen to engage in repeated instances of criminal misconduct."
The FBI investigation into Watkins began at the request of the police department when evidence of the theft was discovered.
Jensen said the investigation indicates that Watkins acted alone, and he said the city will be making efforts to recover the stolen money.
