A Seattle police officer fired last year for allegedly being dishonest will get his job back. Officer Eric Werner, 31, will also get back pay after the city's Public Civil Service Commission ruled that termination was improper. Instead Werner will be assessed a 30-day suspension. Werner insisted that he did not remember punching an agitated man when he was initially questioned in 2007 by Seattle police during an investigation into the man's use of force complaint. Werner, during testimony last year before the Seattle Police Commission, said he only later remembered striking the man.

There are thousands of stories that end with blood, death and twisted metal that started with the sentence, “Yeah, I’m fine to drive.” But a 19-year-old Washington State woman knew she was a threat to herself and others as the result of being behind the wheel of a car and extremely drunk. The 19 year-old Auburn, Washington female was arrested for physical control of a motor vehicle while intoxicated after calling 911 to report herself as “very drunk” while stopped on the shoulder of SR-167 in King County.
