Seattle police lieutenant retires rather than face firing April 19, 2021 FacebookTwitterEmail SEATTLE (AP) — A Seattle police lieutenant has retired rather than face a recommendation that she be fired after an internal investigation found she directed a city contractor to remove trash from her home and lied about it. The findings released by the Office of Police Accountability on Friday determined that former Lt. Sina Ebinger was dishonest, used her position as a police officer for personal gain and acted unprofessionally. Detective Patrick Michaud, a Seattle Police Department spokesperson confirmed to the Seattle Times that Ebinger, a 21-year department veteran, no longer works for the department.
