EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - A Eugene Police Department employee has resigned after telling her fiancé confidential information relating to a felony case in which he was a suspect.
A report from police auditor Mark Gissiner’s office says the employee released information about the victim, police contact tactics, evidence destruction plans and confidential investigatory information.
The woman was not a sworn police officer, but her name and position have not been released.
The report says the incident was reported to the auditor’s office in early March when a co-worker overheard the woman on the phone with her fiancé.
The auditor tells the Eugene Register-Guard (https://bit.ly/1IVPHW7) that he’s not sure whether the woman’s fiancé was ever charged with a crime.
