SEATTLE — A retired Seattle police officer has agreed to perform community service and abide by other conditions for two years, in a deal that could result in the dismissal of a criminal charge against him.
Mike Deacy was charged with impersonating an officer for directing traffic at a construction site in uniform. Prosecutors said a woman complained after he grabbed her arm when she crossed the street. When she asked for his name and badge number, he gave her another officer’s name.
Retired Seattle officers are allowed to work, armed and in uniform, in various capacities if they first request an extension of their authority.
The City Attorney’s Office said Deacy agreed not to work as a retired officer, perform 150 hours of community service, pay $50 for the woman’s lost wages and apologized to her in court.
