Snohomish County deputy prosecutor resigns amid criminal investigation
EVERETT — A county deputy prosecutor resigned in May amid allegations he was dishonest in a police interview related to potential sex crimes.
Robin Tu, 28, handed his resignation to county Prosecutor Jason Cummings the day he was set for a disciplinary hearing with his boss to discuss the allegations, according to records obtained by The Daily Herald via public records request.
In a statement, Cummings said he took “immediate action” upon learning of the police investigation into Tu this spring.
The concerns that led to Tu’s resignation in May started a couple months prior, when he applied for a job as a federal air marshal, Cummings wrote in a memo to the deputy prosecutor. As part of that process, he had to fill out a questionnaire that included questions about past criminal behavior.
