“A King County sheriff’s deputy who threatened to arrest an editor for The Stranger weekly newspaper during a sidewalk confrontation in July has been fired by Sheriff John Urquhart. Deputy Patrick Saulet, a 27-year veteran with a troubled disciplinary history, was terminated at the end of the business day Monday, according to Urquhart. Urquhart found that Saulet ‘took exception’ to Dominic Holden, The Stranger’s news editor, lawfully doing his job on public property, according to a Jan. 30 disciplinary letter sent to Saulet. Saulet was demoted from sergeant last year after Urquhart found he had harassed a family in a vehicle that had made a wrong turn.”
