Our View: Troopers’ fake degrees point to flawed system

The 10 Washington State Patrol troopers who got raises in
exchange for dubious diplomas won’t be prosecuted, says
Thurston County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jon Tunheim,
because it would’ve been difficult to prove that they
weren’t merely the victims of bad advice from the agency’s
human resources department.

Two of the 10 Washington State Patrol troopers under
internal investigation into whether they obtained phony
college degrees online have resigned, according to a WSP

State Patrol Capt. Jeff DeVere identified the two troopers
who resigned in March as James Hotaling, who worked out of
Vancouver, and John McMillan, who worked out of Ephrata.
