PORTLAND — Newberg’s city manager isn’t facing charges stemming from a criminal probe into her decision to put the police chief on leave.
The Oregonian reports Marion County District Attorney Walter Beglau said Friday that he found no indication that Jacque Betz engaged in any criminal wrongdoing.
Newberg-Dundee Police Chief Brian Casey was reinstated by Newberg’s city council July 24 after being on leave for nine days.
Special investigations Capt. Jeff Kosmicki, a subordinate of Casey’s, compiled an 11-page report that was handed over to Marion County prosecutors. The report contains statements from members of the department who say Betz was having a sexual relationship with an officer and that Casey was targeted in order to keep the relationship a secret.
Betz has been on leave since July 20.
