SPD officer in golf-club case stole pot, ex-girlfriend alleges

The Seattle Police Department, already investigating an officer over controversial actions that suggest biased policing, is reviewing a new allegation that in 2005 she took marijuana from evidence for her personal use.

A day after placing a Seattle police officer on desk duty over controversial actions, the Police Department began reviewing a new allegation that the officer previously took marijuana from evidence for her personal use.

The allegation surfaced Friday in The Stranger newspaper, which quoted a woman identifying herself as the ex-girlfriend of Officer Cynthia Whitlatch as saying the two smoked the marijuana at home after it was taken in the spring of 2005.

Whitlatch, the subject of disclosures this week that she arrested a black man using a golf club as a cane and made racially charged comments on Facebook, also has previously made racist remarks, the woman alleged.

The woman, Corinne Purucker, 53, a former Tukwila police officer who resigned over a criminal conviction and now lives out of state, confirmed her allegations Friday in a phone interview with The Seattle Times.
