An undercover detective on the Tempe, AZ., police force has resigned and is facing possible jail time after she became sexually involved with the target suspect of a drug investigation and divulged information post coitus to the suspect.
According to the report, Dever-Jakusz was having a sexual relationship with the suspect in an undercover drug investigation. The investigation was digging into drug abuse and sales in bars on Mill Avenue in Tempe.
According to the report, Dever-Jakusz and two other undercover cops bought illicit drugs from the suspect in June 2013 – one of several undercover drug buys. The report claims the by August, Dever-Jakusz was having sex with the suspect in his home on a relatively regular basis.
The allegations came to light in an anonymous tip received by Tempe police in October. On Oct. 15, the suspect admitted to police that he was in a sexual relationship with Dever-Jakusz.
Investigators questioned Dever-Jakusz about the allegations but she refused to talk and later resigned before she could be fired.
At the moment, Dever-Jakusz does not face charges, but the criminal investigation into her behavior has been forwarded to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and charges for hindering prosecution, a felony, could be filed in the near future.
The Tempe report says no drug charges can be filed against the suspect with whom Dever-Jakusz had the relationship and it's unknown if any charges could move forward against other suspects from the undercover operation.
