A Seattle police officer has been reassigned after a review found he wrote about 80% of marijuana tickets issued in the city during the first half of 2014.
The unidentified officer issued 66 of 83 citations for public pot use in Seattle. In some cases he added notes to the tickets or addressed them to Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes. In another case, the officer reportedly said he flipped a coin when deciding which person to cite.
The case has been referred to Seattle Police Department's Office of Professional Accountability. The officer will not be on patrol duties during the investigation.
