SPD chief orders review of officer's conduct in golf club incident - KING5.com
SEATTLE -- Seattle Police Chief Kathleen O'Toole has ordered a review of an officer's conduct in an incident involving an African American man carrying a golf club.
The encounter between 70-year-old William Wingate and Police Officer Cynthia Whitlach happened in July.
The incident, captured on police dash-cam, shows Wingate's arrest after the officer saw him using a golf club as a cane.
Whitlach says Wingate swung the club at her and obstructed justice.
Wingate was arrested, jailed, and charged.
The charges were later dismissed and police gave him an apology and his golf club back.
