Jonathan Wender has sort of gotten his job back and will receive an $800,000 settlement. Wender now teaches at the University of Washington while on a two-year paid leave from his job as a police sergeant at Mountlake Terrace in Snohomish County, Washington. While on the job he came to believe that police resources were being wasted by the jailing of addicts, joined the organization Law Enforcement Against Prohibition and encouraged discussion concerning the decriminalization of marijuana. The full story is in the SeatlePI.
