EUGENE, Ore. — Investigators found rape kits, drugs, cash and a human skull among 1,000 missing items from a Eugene police evidence warehouse. One worker allegedly used evidence to decorate her cubicle and seized fertilizer to feed office plants.
The policy violations spelled out against three Eugene police employees last year have been upheld by the city’s police auditor this week.
The Eugene Register-Guard reported criminal charges were never filed against the three employees, an administrative specialist and two property control specialists.
The city placed the employees on paid administrative leave during last year’s investigation.
