TOOELE -- Documents released Wednesday accuse two fired Tooele police officers of inappropriate behavior.

Detective Jamie Gutierrez and her husband, Lt. Jorge Cholico, were fired in June. Through an open records request, the Salt Lake Tribune found investigators uncovered several accusations against the couple.

The Tribune says letters from the Tooele police chief to the couple accuse them of actions including:

  • Walking down the street in uniform drunk
  • Playing Twister at a couple's house while in uniform and drunk
  • Making sexual comments to a couple
  • Supplying alcohol to a minor
  • Allowing someone to drive drunk

No dates of the incidents were given.

No criminal charges have been filed against the former officers. Both of them had worked for the Tooele police force for at least 10 years.
