Former Spokane Police Chief Frank Straub filed a $4 million claim against the city Thursday for wrongful termination. Straub was forced to resign late last month following complaints about his leadership style. His sudden ouster followed months of rumors about his explosive behavior, as well as reports about personnel moves involving two women who were transferred out of the police department. In his claim, Straub denies that he resigned. The letter from his attorney, Mary Schultz, states again and again that Straub was “fired.” “You fired Chief Straub,” the letter states. “His termination was already fact. … You had already buried him as the police chief”/Nicholas Deshais, SR.
