FRANK MICHAEL TADDONIO, having been first duly sworn, was called as a witness herein and was examined and testified as follows:
DIRECT EXAMINATION
BY MS. BESCHEN: Q Okay. Can you please state and spell your full name for the
record? A It's Frank Michael Taddonio. Mike. Q Okay. Mr. Taddonio, have you ever reported retaliation in the T-A-D-D-O-N-I-O, but I go by
workplace? A Q A Q Retaliation? No.
Where are you currently employed? The Whatcom County Sheriff's Office. How long have you been with the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office?
A Q A Q A Q A
Approximately 10-and-a-half years. What's your current position? I'm in training as a K9 deputy. Do the K9 deputies receive higher pay than other deputies? We receive a premium. What is the premium? Three percent. We do.

Q A Q A Q A Q
And when did you -- is the K9 deputy a special assignment? It is. When did that special assignment start for you? I believe that it would be the beginning of November. Of 2013? Correct. Prior to November of 2013, did you have any special assignments?
A Q A Q A
I did. What was your special assignment? I was a deputy with the criminal interdiction team. What years did you hold that special assignment for? It was about almost four years, so I would say 2008 -- 2009 to last October.
Q A Q A Q
Prior to that, did you hold any special assignments? I did not. Okay. Who did you support in the 2011 election for sheriff?
Sheriff Elfo. Did you participate in any campaign activities or fundraising events or anything like that?
A Q
I did not. Okay. Have you ever reported concerns about credibility of any
co-workers or superiors at Whatcom County Sheriff's Office? A I guess that I have problems with the verbiage. I did report
an incident that I took concern of with a supervisor.

Q A Q A
And who was that supervisor? Sergeant Mede. What did you report about Sergeant Mede? It was spoken about a traffic stop that, on face value, was questionable.
Q A Q A Q A Q A Q
Did Sergeant Mede write a police report for the traffic stop? He did. Did you review that police report? I eventually did. Okay. When was that traffic stop roughly?
I honestly couldn't -Do you know the year? It's was last year, so 2012, I would like to say. Okay. How long after the stop did you have an opportunity to
review Sergeant Mede's report? A From the time of the stop to the point that I actually pulled the report was -- maybe six to eight months. Q A Okay. What caused you to pull the report?
It was brought up during another interview that I was having with Inspector Cooley and in kind of discussing the issue that I saw on face value, being -- not knowing what exactly was written up and how it was written up. I was then later pulled It
in by admin, I believe that it was Chadwick and Rossmiller. was spoken of again. And then at that point, just because I
didn't know all of the full details, I went and pulled the

report. Q When you reviewed that report, did you see anything in that report that you believed to be untruthful? A Q I had an issue with omission from that report. What was omitted from that report that you were concerned about? A The basics of the report said that it was a traffic stop. Whereas, I had information from prior to that traffic stop that I thought was possibly prudent to the investigation. Q A What was that information? That he had been observing the vehicle before it departed the gas station. That he had contacted me in regards to that And I was actually on my way to
vehicle and its occupants.
conduct a, kind of a social contact, consensual encounter with that vehicle. And then he stopped the vehicle and per his
report, that's where it started. Q Do you know if there was ever any internal investigation into Sergeant Mede for that situation that you were just referring to? A I believe that it was reviewed through an administrative investigation. Or as part of an administrative investigation,
it was looked at. Q Are you aware of what the resolution of that administrative investigation was or the outcome? A I read the letter of resolution and I don't know that there was
Page 7
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
anything that came of it. Q Okay. In the traffic stop that you were just referring to,
what was the name of the person that was stopped? A This is the same issue that I had during the initial. remember her. I don't
The passenger was Mason Saunders, who I was
familiar with mainly through his brother, so that's how I was able to pre-call it. Q A Q Okay. (Phonetic)
Do you know if Mason Saunders was prosecuted?
I don't believe that anyone was prosecuted through that case. Okay. Do you know if the information that you reported about
that stop with Sergeant Mede was ever reported to the prosecuting attorney's office? A I believe that I was told that it was discussed with the prosecutor's office. Q Were you ever told which prosecutor specifically it was discussed with? A I believe that it was McEachran and that then involved Mede writing a follow-up to complete the report. Q A Were drugs found in the car when it was stopped? I believe so, but I can't remember what. was a search warrant that was supplied. Q So was that, like, a beginning stage of a case that turned into a bigger case? A Q I don't follow. Does that make sense? I believe that there
Page 8
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
A Q
Hm... Well, it sounds like the person was stopped and some drugs were found, but they were not prosecuted to your knowledge?
I believe that the vehicle was stopped.
They took the vehicle
to get a search warrant for it, and later got the search warrant. I don't know if any action was taken once the drugs
were found because I don't believe that it was anything significant. Q Okay. Did you ever have any run-ins with Mason Saunders after
that stop? A Q A Q I have not. Do you know if Sergeant Mede did? I do not. You mentioned that a moment ago that that was brought up in a meeting for another administrative investigation. that correct? A Q No. It was brought up during an internal. Okay. Do you know what that internal Did I get
During an internal.
investigation involved? A Q A Oh, I do. Okay. Can you tell me about that?
It was related to a pursuit that I had -- which involved myself, Deputy Freeman and Sergeant Moyes were the, I guess, main participants -- which ended in a collision.
And what caused that to turn into an internal investigation?
Page 9
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
A Q
I don't -I mean, if there was just an accident, is that something that typically results in an investigation?
There was a maneuver used so it wasn't a pursuit where the suspect then wrecked out. It was that a sergeant pulled in So I believe that it was his
front, causing the collision.
actions that were raised in question and which took it to an internal, I believe. Q Okay. Do you have any other knowledge of statements that
either were false statements or statements by omission that Mede has made? A Q A Through what I have heard, yes. What other statements are you aware of? There was an incident with, I believe, that it was Calvin Clement. This was, I guess, the rough range of it was maybe I don't know the specifics of it as far as (Phonetic)
eight years ago. date. Q A Q A Q
But it's of similar situation, not reported.
Where it was a pretextual stop; is that correct? There was a question to be pretextual, yes. Do you know who the prosecutor on that case was? I believe it was Mr. Hulbert. And do you know how that -- did that result in any sort of internal or administrative investigation?
A Q
That, I don't know. Okay. Any other statements that you're aware of, either made
Page 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
directly to you or that you've heard from others that were either false statements or an omission to the degree of being false made by Sergeant Mede? A In my contacts with Mede, there's been one other significant one in which I was spoken to by a sergeant and the lieutenant in regards to essentially procedural call out, as I was able to be called out through my interdiction team. I was spoken to by
a sergeant and lieutenant, both advised that Mede had filed a -- made a complaint about that situation. And then in taking
that to Sergeant Mede in an attempt to discuss it, he just said that it never occurred and didn't know what I was talking about. Q A So from my perspective, that was an issue.
What was it that he said never occurred? That he spoke to any lieutenant or the sergeant about the call out procedure, what was done. Both had actually named him by So I just went to
name in saying that this is what he said.
him with the complaint to kind of figure out what was going on and he denied saying anything or talking to anybody about it. Q Okay. Do you know who Sergeant Mede supported in the election
for sheriff? A Q A I believe that it was Elfo. How do you know that? I believe that there was an ad on YouTube or something to that effect. Q Are there any other deputies or sergeants or anybody in the
Page 11
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
Whatcom County Sheriff's Office that you're aware of that did an advertisement for Sheriff Elfo during the election? A Q A Q I believe that Sergeant Larson was also in that same video. Anybody else? Not that I can recall. Has Sergeant Larson ever made any statements that you knew to be false? A Q Not that I can think of. Do you have any question into Sergeant Larson's credibility? And I can expand on that question. A From -- I have fairly limited personal work experience with her. Q A Okay. The only thing that I would be able to, again, reference that to is from co-workers that would raise concern to me. Q Okay. How many other co-workers have raised concern to you
about Sergeant Larson's credibility? A Q A Q Like a rough number? Yup. More than five. Do you know if there has ever been an internal investigation or administrative investigation into Sergeant Larson's conduct? A Q I do not know. Okay. Parks? Do you have any knowledge about false statements made by
Page 12
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
A Q A Q A Q
I do not. Okay. I do. What about Deputy Roff? I do. Are there any other deputies that you have any concern as to their credibility? Do you believe Deputy Harris to be a credible deputy?
A Q
I do not. Prior to today, have you ever met and spoken with Liz Gallery about this case?
A Q A Q A
I did. How long ago was that? Last week. I don't recall what day.
Did she provide you with any information during that meeting? That was a general discussion. I don't know if there was any
specifics, just because there was an unknown on why I was there -- or here. Q A Okay. Yeah. Did she ask you any questions? We spoke for a little while and just kind of back and
forth to try to determine. Q A What were the topics that you spoke about? I think the Mede incident was the significant one. it was mentioned about the election information. internal which I was involved in. I believe
The previous
I believe the Clement
situation was spoken of in part with the Mede situation, just

because of the correlating facts. We did speak of the specifics with Murphy, you know, just as far as what I knew in regards to, are there any computer issues or what I had heard. to me right now. Q Okay. With regards to the election information, what That's all that's coming
specifically did you discuss about the election information? A I believe that she just kind of mentioned that I could be asked who I supported and where I stood there. Q Okay. With regards to information about Murphy, what did you
tell her that you knew about Murphy? A As far the particular details of the internal, I am not aware of -- I realized I did read some of his stuff on his website or the Whatcom Uncovered website. Q A Mm-hm. So some -- was difficult to discern what I had been told and what I had read. But it was all pretty limited as far as, you
know, what I knew in regards to that. Q Okay. is? A Q It's been discussed. In what -- where has it been discussed? that term before? A I believe that it was, you know, briefly discussed during the Academy, but otherwise I think that my true learning of it was Where have you heard Did you receive any training on what Brady information
Page 14
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 A Q A Q A Q Q Q A Q A A Q just being at the prosecutor's. Okay. said? Just speaking to prosecutors. There was a couple of Well, from being at the prosecutor's? Is that what you
prosecutors that I just -- just speak with. Okay. Which prosecutors have you spoken with about Brady?
I believe that's Carrie Hawthorne, who is no longer here. She's down in Oregon. Jim Hulbert. (Phonetic)
What did Jim Hulbert tell you about Brady? Just in the -- I don't know that I got an explanation of what the full Brady is. But just the context of once you are
Brady'ed, then you are labeled and that has to come out during every trial and kind of hampers your ability to be in law enforcement, because now you've been found to be non-credible. All right. Was that conversation with regards to any
particular deputy? I believe that came up during a conversation about Kevin Mede. Okay. Did prosecutor Hulbert say that Mede -- that there was
Brady information with regards to Mede? It was discussed. Okay. Have you ever had any conversations with Elfo about
Brady information? I don't know that we ever spoke and referenced Brady. Okay. How about any other -- any supervisor in the Whatcom
County Sheriff's Department?

Mm-hm. I believe -- I don't know if it was during the administrative investigation or just thereafter, you know. We did have a sit
down just to kind of discuss what had kind of transpired. Is Mede still presently working as a -- at the sheriff's office? He is. What is his current position? He's a sergeant. Have any of his duties changed over the last couple of years that you're aware of? Yes. Just in reference to that each sergeant is tasked with
overseeing different specialty units or -- so I know that he just did several of those. Does he still do traffic stops? I believe so. Do you know if when he does a traffic stop and that is prosecuted, if a Brady letter goes out about him? I do not know. Have you ever spoken with McEachran about Brady information? I have not. Okay. I think that I'm almost done, give me one more minute.

Oh, do you know a person by the name of Penny who works for the Whatcom County Sheriff's Department or the jail? A Q A I believe she's at the jail now. Is that Penny Goodman? Yes. So I think that might have been one of the first
questions you gave to me. Q A Sure. Because I actually brought up an incident with her as she was working in the office. Q A Okay. Where she had potentially relinquished information on one of my investigations to a relative, and I took issue with that, and brought that to the administration. Q Okay. So tell me about what information she -- what type of
information was it that she had given up? A I was investigating a fairly significant -- I think that it was over a $100,000 burglary and was tracking down the expensive antiques. Q A Mm-hm. It had gotten to the point where I had found one of the suspects and I didn't know the correlation to her. And in
trying to track him down and get information, he out of the blue, called me. I ended up finding out that I believe that it
was -- I don't know if they were married -- but a son-in-law to her. That was the only feasible way that he would have found
Page 17
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
out that, No. 1, I was looking for him and 2, what it was regarding. Q A Do you recall -I believe that Murphy was the one that -- I know that he ended up taking over for that case. I can't remember if he actually
spoke to Penny in regards to that. Q Okay. Do you recall whether or not you were assigned to look
into Penny Goodman at any point? A I was not. That was about the same time that the case was then I don't recall the progression from
delivered to detectives. there.
It was just shortly thereafter that the case was handed
over to the detectives and they handled it all from there. Q Okay. Do you recall who you reported your concerns about Penny
Goodman to? A Q A Q A Q I don't specifically remember who I brought it to. Was it a supervisor? I believe there was several that I spoke to about it. Okay. Do you know what came of that investigation?
I do not. Do you know how long after that investigation Penny no longer worked at the sheriff's office?
I think it was -MR. KAMERRER: testimony. question. Go ahead. Objection, misstates his prior In a deposition, you can answer the

He may have some for you.
EXAMINATION OF FRANK MICHAEL TADDONIO BY MR. KAMERRER
BY MR. KAMERRER: Q When did you become employed by the Whatcom County Sheriff's Office? A Q A It was November of 2003. Did you have prior law enforcement employment? I was a reserve to Blaine for, I believe, three -three-and-a-half years. Q When did you start working with the criminal interdiction team, as a member of that? A Q I think 2008 or 2009 -- 2009 maybe. Does that have a term for how long you're in an assignment like
Page 19
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
that? A Yeah. The initial term is three years and then you have a two
year renewal. Q Okay. So did your term end in 2013 prior to becoming a K9
officer? A Q A Q I actually left the interdiction team to become a K9 deputy. Is the K9 position something that you applied for? It is. Have you spoken to an investigator for Bob Butler or Ms. Beschen here, or either of them before this deposition? A Q A Q I have not. Have you talked to Paul Murphy since he was terminated? I have not. With respect to the $100,000 burglary that you were investigating, what steps had you taken to obtain a warrant for the arrest of the suspect who subsequently contacted you? A It hadn't been to that point. The breakdown for the
investigation was that it was a fairly significant group of drug addicts and burglaries, so it was getting pieced out. He came -- I'm sorry, I can't remember his name -- but he popped up because he went and pawned and attempted to sell at an antique store, so they had contacted me. step for me was to attempt to track him down. So I don't -- other than the probable cause for other possession, I did not do any steps to get a warrant yet. My So the next
Page 20
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
next step would have been to attempt to locate and speak with him. Just knowing that he didn't end up -- I didn't believe
him to be one of the main actors in the burglary, just somebody who would have received the stolen property. Q Okay. Did he end up being charged with any criminal offenses
related to that burglary? A Q Unfortunately not. When he contacted you, did he tell you information that indicated that he was involved in the criminal activity? A Sorry, I'm just trying to think. It was a long time ago. No.
The conversation, I believe, was just kind of the plead of ignorance. He had two large totes of, you know, antique items
that I think that they estimated were over $20,000 or $25,000. I believe that he made a claim that it was in trade for some auto repair work. So to me, him having knowledge of
antiques, just as you said, that's what he did in his off time. To me, that was the glaring moment of, you know, he knew what he was getting and he knew that it was stolen. Q So was it the fact that there was a large quantity of antiques in these two totes that suggested that he knew that it was stolen? A The quantity and the -- more so the value. with him, he spoke of antiques. Just in speaking
I believe that he actually
referenced that he had a -- some sort of kind of guide for the collectibles, so he would have -- should have known the value
Page 21
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
that he had as opposed to... And then he also lied about the fact that I believe that he said that he hadn't opened them. One of the big parts was
that when I went through each one, I was able to see that each one was wrapped in newspaper that was very recently dated as opposed to when he said that he got them. Q Okay. Did you ever talk to Penny about your suspicions
regarding that person contacting you? A Not in regards to my suspicions. I believe that the only
conversation that I had with her just was how she got the information, maybe she even told me to call him. I can't
remember, but I think initially, I didn't take anything from it just because she was the receptionist and got the phone calls. So, again, that's a little foggy for me on that one. never went to her with any accusations or questions. I
At that
point, it was -- I was told to pass it onto the detectives who then kind of ran with it from there and looked at all of the aspects. Q How would Penny have known you had developed this individual as a suspect related to that burglary? A Through our reports. Again, this is eight or nine years ago.
I don't know when we had our -- we have daily summaries in which you put out information, which much of our support staff gets and reads. But at the same time, there was also calls coming into
Page 22
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25
our office from the antique store who were then providing information to our office. I don't know the channels that they It
went through, so that was a viable option that they called. might have informed her of what they needed and what they needed to report. Q Is it safe to say that you don't know how Penny could have
known that this person that you had developed as a suspect had some connection to that burglary? A Yeah. on. MR. KAMERRER: questions that I have. MS. BESCHEN: I think that that's all of the Thanks. Okay. We can go off the record. It's unclear to me exactly how she knew what was going
