Man allegedly having sex in women's restroom arrested

P-I REPORTER
A Thurston County deputy prosecutor found himself on the wrong side of the law Sunday after police said he was caught in a women's restroom at Qwest Field having sex.
The incident happened during the Seahawks game against Minnesota on Sunday afternoon, King County sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said.
Qwest employees alerted off-duty sheriff's deputies working security at the stadium. The deputies went to the area near Section 138, where they found "a guy in the women's restroom having sex in one of the stalls," Urquhart said.
At the time, there was a long line of women waiting to use the facilities.
Once he was outside, Urquhart said, it was clear the man had been drinking. The 31-year-old woman found with the man was not detained or arrested.
The man, 39, was identified, arrested and ejected from the stadium. He is under investigation for obstruction and trespassing. The Seattle P-I has a policy of not naming a suspect until formally charged.
Thurston County prosecutor Ed Holm said the attorney has been notified that he will be disciplined. Holm said he won't make a disciplinary decision until he knows whether the deputy prosecutor will be charged.
"This could be serious, but it sounds more childish than anything," Holm said. The man who was arrested was admitted to the bar in 1994. Holm said he has worked at the prosecutor's office for about 15 years and is one of its better trial attorneys.
