Fired detective’s criminal trial begins
The obstruction of justice trial began Monday against embattled former Spokane police detective Jeff Harvey.
Harvey was fired this year after being charged with a gross misdemeanor following a confrontation with a state Department of Fish and Wildlife police officer who responded on Jan. 22 to a report of boys shooting after hunting hours on private land north of Spokane.
