Another Oakland, Calif. police chief stepped down Friday, after just two days on the job amid an ongoing sex scandal that has rocked the department.
(FOX)- Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said at a news conference that Acting Police Chief Paul Figueroa would revert back to police captain and resign as acting police chief and assistant.
Figueroa is the third chief to be replaced in the last nine days amid a sex scandal that Schaaf said involved “disgusting allegations” that a number of officers had sex with a teenage prostitute.
Schaaf said at a news conference that her job is to “run a police department, not a frat house.”
She appointed Figueroa Wednesday after abruptly removing the interim police chief, Ben Fairow, after learning unspecified information that led her to lose confidence in his ability to run the beleaguered department.
Fairow, previously spent 21 years as an officer in Oakland, was appointed after Chief Sean Whent resigned last Thursday after news of the scandal broke.
