Everett Police Refer Charges For Former Sultan Chief

Posted: 5:29 pm PST November 6, 2007Updated: 3:17 pm PST November 7, 2007

Whatcom County prosecutors are considering charging former Sultan Police Chief Fred Walser crimes, following an exclusive KIRO Team 7 Investigation into personnel issues inside his department.

Back in June, Walser confirmed to KIRO Team 7 Investigators that he was accused of withholding information from detectives who were looking into alleged wrong-doing by his top aide.

Now Everett Police say they've finished an investigation-- and they have referred that Walser be charged with tampering with evidence, obstructing a law-enforcement officer, official misconduct and making a false or misleading statement to a public servant.

Walser had no comment Tuesday night on the report- saying he had not read it.

Previously, he denied any wrongdoing and he's suing the city of Sultan for $10 million.
