The Butler’s Revenge.

I have written previously about the “dirty DUI” case, as the SFChron puts it. In brief, Christopher Butler and his PI agency were taking money from women involved in divorce/custody cases to set up their husbands on DUI charges.

One of the people who provided evidence against Butler and his cohorts (including former Contra Costa County Deputy Sheriff Stephen Tanabe) was a reserve officer named William Howard. Howard has been a reserve officer with the sheriff’s department for 19 years.

He was fired on Tuesday.

A department spokesman, Jimmy Lee, described Howard’s release as an internal matter and declined to discuss it.

    They were doing a lot more than just dirty DUI ‘s and making a lot of money, too. I was one of the Sheriff’s Dept.’s victims and they had a great time destroying me.
