CHANDLER, AZ (CBS5) -
A Chandler officer had a brief unpaid suspension for using
police computers to look up a subject he believed his wife was having an affair
with.
The investigation of Officer Garrett Dever, released Friday,
showed Dever was suspended for four days.
According to the report, Dever was honest about the incident
and had no past disciplinary action taken against him.
Dever's wife, former Tempe Officer Jessica Dever-Jakusz
resigned in lieu of being terminated in November 2013 for her sexual
involvement with a suspect being investigated for selling drugs.
The suspect with whom Dever-Jakusz was having an affair told
investigators that she originally lied to him about the fact that she was
married. When she came clean about that, she told him her husband was a
Chandler police officer but that she was in the process of leaving him.
According to the suspect Dever-Jakusz was involved with, she
told him that her husband had been "looking up a bunch of stuff on
him."
Sources reveal the investigation involved Dever using police
computers to look up a subject he believed his wife was having an affair with
and then threatening that man.
Dever is the son of the late Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise
County. The sheriff was killed in a single vehicle accident in Northern Arizona
in September 2012. Larry Dever's blood alcohol level at the time of his death
was .291 percent. That is more than three times the legal limit.
