OVER the opening strains of "Tacoma my kind of town is," a MONTAGE: a mixture of headlines, television coverage and live action. Downtown Booming! Post Iraq War Optimism! Tacoma: America’s No. 1 Wired City! But most prominent among them: ESTRANGED WIFE BUSTS CHIEF OF POLICE! T.V. reporters document crime scenes. Police cars, sirens blaring, race through Tacoma's pothole strewn streets. Where will it end?
CITY MANGER: (V.O.) Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the future of Tacoma! David A. Brame your new Police Chief.
MAYOR: We're selling an image, gentlemen. A Beautiful waterfront. Affordable housing. Trouble-free transportation. And the best police department in the world to keep it all running smoothly.
INTERIOR: Office of Tacoma Confidential.
Lurid page one headlines cover the wall where Paul Malone types. The essence of sleaze, Malone is the publisher-photographer-writer of Tacoma Confidential, keeper of inside dirt supreme. As he continues...
MALONE (V.O.): Remember, dear readers, you heard it here first, off the record, on
the Q.T. and very Confidential.
While Tacoma Police Chief Dave Brame frolics amongst the glitz and glamour of "Sin City", Las Vegas, Nevada, at TPD's expense, his estranged wife is trying to put her life back together. Back together from what you might ask dear readers.
What started out as an amicable divorce proceeding, filed in King County on February 24th, has turned out to be the biggest scandal this "Sin City" has seen since Commissioner Carr got caught with his pants down on K Street better than 50 years ago. According to filings and depositions, that have been raining down on the court faster than bombs on Baghdad, there are accusations of requested sexual favors, group encounters of threesomes and foursomes, a loaded service weapon left within the children's reach and death threats.
Further dear readers Chief Brame is not the only high ranking Tacoma Police Department official to be caught up in the latest scandal since the City Manager's wife pleaded guilty to insurance fraud. According to an informational report filed with the Pierce County Sheriff's Department, Brame and Assistant Chief Katherine Woodard gained entrance to his wife's parent's gated Gig Harbor community under "false pretenses". An e-mail to Brame has fallen on deaf ears. But according to Woodard this entire divorce is a personal issue and that she's not going to talk about it. Smart woman Katherine.
In light of further details to come will Tacoma's East Side fair haired boy invoke "The Infamous Areola Blue Code" or stand up in court like a man and allow his estranged wife and children get on with their lives. That dear readers is the question.
