Seattle cop suspended for unwanted touching and... (checks notes)... acting like a cat at a veterinary clinic

14 days ago by neuracnu to c/seattle

A Seattle police officer’s creepy cat impersonation has landed him in the doghouse.

Officer Vincent Fason got a 30-day suspension for weirding out an entire veterinary clinic with surprise visits, uncomfortable hugs, and a bizarre, overly familiar cat impression that involved meowing and rubbing his head on a staffer’s arm.

The dangers of meowing ironically can lead you

Since Fason denied all of the allegations, the OPA opened a second dishonesty investigation. While the OPA has already sustained dishonesty findings in that case, the chief has not issued final discipline. The presumed penalty for dishonesty is termination under the SPOG contract. However, cops who lie are not always fired. Fason still appears on the roster, but he is on leave.

Hired in 2016, Fason makes $159,036 in base pay, and he made $56,123 in overtime in 2024, the last year for which we have overtime data.

Dishonesty?!

That should be lying under oath and fraud.

Making 200k+ a year from taxpayers while acting like a fucking cat all day.

I presume he didn't do this ALL day... but doing it repeatedly is pretty fucking unhinged.

Once, in September 2025, Fason entered through the clinic’s cat door, mimicking a cat by purring and meowing. A staff member joked that they didn’t have any appointments for him, and he hissed at her. Later, he made purring sounds and rubbed his head on another staff member’s arm.

The fuck

I know putting it more glibly gets more clicks and also avoids potential libel, but if you read the details and assume they are correct, he sexually harassed and essentially stalked one of the women working there. After she complained and he was reassigned from that area he went back twice while on the clock! This guy was using his position of authority to apply leverage to both the business and the individuals to accept his unwanted behavior. I hope the woman is doing okay, and especially if he's not fired, I hope she sues for harassment.

Idk….looking at that photo, I can absolutely see this guy rubbing his head on someone’s arm while giving a convincing “meow”.
