A
Pasco Police officer already facing criminal charges following last summer's
bomb threat at CBC is now being charged with patronizing a prostitute by the
Franklin County Prosecutor.
Those
charges were filed against Zach Fairley on April 28th.
Fairley
is set to go to trial at the end of June for making false or misleading
statements to a public servant.
Prosecutors
claim he received text messages from the number that made the bomb threat at
CBC hours before the threat was made and lied to officers when questioned about
it.
Although
he is still on paid adminsitrative leave from the Pasco PD, three weeks ago
Fairley started working for the Red Cross' local blood collection division.
The
Red Cross sent us this statement: “The American Red Cross Pacific Northwest
Blood Services Region is conducting an internal investigation regarding a staff
member’s employment. The employee has been put on paid administrative leave
until the investigation is complete.”
