Investigator for Washington state attorney general placed on leave after note he left at Tacoma restaurant: ‘BLM Button = No Tip’

The Washington Attorney General’s Office has placed a senior criminal investigator on paid administrative leave while it investigates an incident at a Tacoma restaurant in which a server said the man made a scene and stiffed her on her tip for wearing a Black Lives Matter button.

Cloyd Steiger, a former Seattle police homicide detective and now the chief criminal investigator for the AG’s Homicide Investigation Tracking System (HITS), was placed on leave Tuesday after the AG’s office Human Resources Department “initiated an investigation into his conduct,” said Dan Jackson, a spokesman for Attorney General Bob Ferguson.

Steiger, 61, declined to comment. His attorney, Steven Fogg, said Steiger was cooperating with the investigation and “deeply regrets what happened.”

The incident occurred Sunday afternoon at The Fish Peddler restaurant when Reese Vincent seated Steiger and the woman with him on the restaurant patio. She served them drinks and calamari, she said, and noted they seemed “standoffish.” The man, she said, seemed anxious to leave and asked to be cashed out after a single round of drinks.

Yes, he “deeply regrets what happened” because he got caught. Steiger might learn that it is difficult to get a well-paying job at the age of 61 even though he was a public employee for years. Welcome to Walmart.

“This gentleman felt the need to walk into the restaurant and scream at who he thought was our manager, getting in his face, telling us he’s a ‘regular’ and he’s shocked to see us wearing these,” Vincent said. “He then proceeded to flip us off, write a nasty note on my slip, and leave.”

Steiger had scrawled on the $46.74 receipt — which bears his name — “BLM Button = No Tip” and “That’s How Socialism Works.”

3. And this

"In Steiger’s defense, Fogg said Steiger has been a tenacious and dedicated homicide investigator for decades, and that residents of “both the city of Seattle and the state of Washington should be grateful for his years of service.”

Yea, and I think they should investigate every black person he arrested and charged to see if the bastard planted evidence.

4. My sentiments exactly!

They need to look into every conviction that was a result of his investigations.
