Lt. Pasko typed a confidential that is included with this investigation. The following is a summary of that confidential.

On Friday 11/6/15, Lt. Pasko attended a nuisance meeting regarding the Ace of Spades bar. Prior to entering the meeting, he spoke with AFD Lt. Tom Whately. He asked him specifically about some information he received earlier in the day regarding Officer Northup. Whatley told him he attended a meeting at the Ace of Spades on 8/7/15 during the day along with city building department personnel, Wes Tucker the bar promoter, and an architect for Tony George, who is the owner of the building. Officer Northup was there, identified himself as an officer, but appeared to be representing the interest of the bar. Lt. Whatley
Pasko on 11/19/15 to further discuss issues. Lt. Pasko stated that the meeting on 11/16/15 was attended by Capt. Zamplelli, Prosecutor Gurt Wilms, Lt.

Lt. Pasko had also received information that Officer Northup would go to the State Liquor store while off duty and pick up the liquor orders for the Ace of Spades bar. Lt. Pasko thought that Officer Northup attending the meeting on 8/7/15 and representing the bar owners interests and not the police department, him picking up liquor for the bar, working the extra job when the building was not habitable and him not informing the department that the building was uninhabitable as well as the tome of the texts all in totality gave the appearance of impropriety by Officer Northup. Lt. Pasko also had concerns that officers working the extra job at the bar received $35 dollars an hour which was above the agreed upon rate that is set by the Chief of
