the
picture
ad long Hair. Officer Brooks identified _
but
stated that s e had short hair. Captain Michael Green brought in another picture of
with short hair. Officer Brooks identified her.

I conducted an interview with ex-offender

When I first :
~. . myself, she asked if this had anyt ing to do with ex-offender
_
She stated that Miss~ad her car and was involved in a hit and run
accident and had lied about it f~ days and didn't have a Washington State Driver
License. I stopped her and asked how she got home from the hospital and she said her
gentleman friend picked them up.
I asked Ms. _ i f her gentlemen friend had a name and stated it was Bernardo

Brooks. She said he picked her and M s _ p at 81. Joe's hospital. I asked ifhe
worked at WCCW, she said, yes, hers a correctional officer. She expressed she didn't
want to get him in any trouble, he has been really nice to her and concerned about her
surgery.
Then I asked her if she had been in contact with him recently. She said, yesterday,
(which would have been the zs", of August.) She said she had met officer Brooks
.sometime in late March in a nightclub called "Taber", in downtown Tacoma. She also
.introduced her oldest daughter
to officer Brooks.
She said that at the time neither of them made a connection that he worked as an officer
at WCCW and she an offender. She said she danced with officer Brooks before the end
of the evening and gave him her cell phone number.
Ms_said they talked on the phone approximately 2-3 times during a two-month
peri~ said officer Brooks called her approximately 2-3 da~ after their meeting in
the nightclub. In late May she ran into officer Brooks at the n° Street, Fred Meyer in
Tacoma. She said they talked about hisjob because he was wearing his unifiilits.
During their conversation officer Brook told her he worked at WCCW. Ms
said
at that time she told him she had been incarcerated at WCCW. She then recalled an
incident and mentioned it to him and that he acknowledged the episode during the time
she was at WCCW.
She said when she would talk to officer Brooks on the phone they would talk about his
job and his life. I asked her what did he say about his job? She said nothing specific
only that he had to work. She said that one of the times they talked she told him about
her surgery scheduled the 20dweek in June and asked him ifhe would pick her up and he
said he would to just call him a couple of days before the surgery. I asked ifhe gave her
his cell phone number? Ms. _ s a i d when he called her she got his number from her
cell phone.

486

7

Ms. _ a i d a couple of days later she was notified that her surgery was cancelled,
and she called officer Brooks and told him. She then asked him that once her surgery
was re-scheduled would he still pick her up and he told her yes.
Ms_aid in late July she was notified that her surgery was re-scheduled for August
20,'i004.She called officer Brooks and he said he would pick her up and to call him a
couple of days before the surgery to remind him to pick her up. She said he told her he
was working a lot of overtime and did not want to forget.
Ms._aid she called him on either Monday or Tuesday before her surgery but
didn't reach him and on Friday and finally left a message. She said she the night before
her surgery she called him and this time she spoke with him. Officer Brooks told her he
would be at the hospital to give her a ride home.
M~aid when she checked into the hospital the admission nurse asked her the
name ofthe person who was re.onsible for picking her up. She said she gave officer
Brooks name and number. Mssaid right before going into to surgery she was
asked again the name of the person who was picking her up. When she woke up in the
recovery room M s . " and Mr. Brooks was there. While she was getting dressed and
getting instructions from the nurse, officer Brooks went to get his v~he said
officer Brooks picked her up at the entrance and drove her and Ms. ~o her
apartment. She said that once they arrived he helped her up the stairs then left.

M~said that the next morning she went to move her vehicle and noticed the .
passenger side had damages. She then drove to the transition house to talk to Ms. _
and find out what had happened to her vehicle and was told that the police had come by
last night and said her car was in a hit and run.
Ms._said she contacted the police and spoke with Detective Brooks, telling him
that Ms. ~as the driver of the vehicle while she was in surgery. She gave .
Detective Brooks, Officer Brooks phone number so that he could contact him and verify
her story.
She then called Officer Brooks to locate her discharge papers that were left in his vehicle.
Officer Brooks told her once he got off work he would bring her the paperwork. She said
that when he arrived she met him outside and explained to him what happened with her
vehicle and told him that she gave the detective his name and number to verify her story.
She said that officer Brooks was okay with it.
She said on August 25, 2004, MsJllteft her a voice message, saying that she had
told the police about officer Brooks. She said she tried calling him with no success.
Ms. . . said the last contact she had contact with officer Brooks was the Sunday after
surgery. Ms;~aid she left him a voice message on his cell phone on Wednesday,
August zs", 2004. (See Attachment 2)

I conducted an interview with
n August 31, 2004. She
admitted that she was the one thathad left me the voice mail on August 26, 2004
I asked her i.fshe was with M s _ a t the hospital when officer Brooks~.kedh.er up.
She said y'es. She and Officer Brooks were in the recovery room with Ms. . . .
While M~as receiving her discharge paperwork officer Brooks left to get his
vehicle, he met them downstairs by the new building next to the emergency room. I
asked her if I was the first time she drove in his vehicle she said yes.
I asked what kind of vehicle he drove and she stated it was a truck, bronze with silver
tone, but wasn't his vehicle. I asked how did she know it wasn't his vehicle. She said he
visited Ms._pproximately two times at the transition house, 1208 56th Street,
Tacoma and that he drove a neon car w.ith tan ~rown. She then said she sat in
the back seat, while he drove them both to Ms.~partment on "M" street. Ms
. s a i d Officer Brooks helped M~upstairs then left.
I asked her how did she find out the officer Brooks was picking them up. She said before
surgery M s _ a v e her a cell phone to call officer Brooks and said the number was
programmed in her phone. I asked if she remembered the time she called him and she
said it was around 3:30pm. I asked if she remembered what he was wearing when he
picked them up and she said he was wearing blue uniform pants with a black t-shirt,
I asked when did she recognize that he was an officer. She said the first time he came to
the transition house early January. I then asked if she and M~talked about him
being an officer and she stated, "Yes,~old me not to say anything." I asked her
why she hadn't said anything sooner and she said it was none of her business.
Ms._ s a i d once she contacted Detective Brooks and told him she was the driver of
the vehicle that was involved in the hit run, she was surprised the learn that that Detective
brooks knew that officer Brooks worked at WCCW.
She said On August 2I st, _contacted her for her hospital paperwork. "She told her
she had left them in Officer Brook's vehicle.
Conclusion:
.
On September 9, 2004, Offend~as Polygraphed byExaminer William D. Tufts
.~ Polygraph Services, The purpose of the examination was to verify that offender
,,-allegation that officer Brooks knew she was an ex-inmate before he picked her up
at St. Joseph Hospital a~urgery on her wrist. A. polygraph examination could not
be administered to Ms._because of her recent wrist surgery, being in pain, and
taking medication. (See Attachment 3)
