Investigation of Bellevue cops alleged bad behavior expected to take month

Three Bellevue police officers will have to wait to find out how they’ll be punished for their unruly behavior before and during the Seahawks home opener last week.

The officers are accused of being drunk when they surrounded and taunted a Seattle officer outside CenturyLink Field, and then acting so badly inside the stadium they were kicked out by security.

A man who witnessed the officers in the stadium told The Dori Monson Show a “barrage” of f-bombs flew out of one of the officer’s mouth before he tapped them on the shoulder and asked them to stop.

Police Chief Linda Pillo told the Bellevue City Council this week that the officer’s reported actions are embarrassing and disheartening, and that she will hold the officers accountable when the investigation is done.

The Seattle Times reports the internal review could take a month to wrap up.

The chief says this case has undermined public confidence in the police and hurt the city’s relationship with Seattle.
