Chico police sergeant fired for sexual relationships on duty
Press Democrat ^ | Molly Myers

Posted on 09/21/2025 8:04:51 AM PDT by rey

A Chico police sergeant engaged in numerous sexual relationships while on duty before his termination in January 2025, public records from the Chico Police Department show.

Documents acquired by this newspaper state Sgt. Michael Williams received previous discipline for an on-duty relationship with a subordinate officer. The revelation of his continued on-duty sexual relationships with multiple women indicated “a very concerning progression,” of behavior, stated Chico police Capt. Omar Pena in one of the documents.

According to the documents, Williams had sexual relationships with what appears to be five women while on patrol in 2023. The department became aware of these relationships through a number of avenues.

Williams met one of the women while responding to her report of domestic violence.

Another woman was involved in dozens of calls with the department, including various arrests, and told investigating officers about the relationship. It wasn’t until her mother, concerned the relationship might be illegal due to her daughter “being severely mentally ill,” informed Sgt. Dave Bailey that an investigation began.

Another woman was also involved in calls with the department, and told an officer about the relationship while in the back of his police car. A different woman disclosed her relationship with Williams to Chico police through an ethics reporting platform.

I only read far enough to find out if it was with women.

What a country.

So many police departments are chastised for failing to have good community relations and this guy has taken it to heart to improve the department by appearing to assume the responsibility in that direction. Hard help is good to find.

He had (at least) five different women as sexual partners, during his working hours as a policeman?
That’s like one for each weekday!
Just don’t get Tuesday mixed up with Wednesday, or Sunni-Side-Up confused with Afternoon-Dee-Lite, then you really got Girl Trouble!

**All jokes aside, at very least, a policeman acting in such a manner shows a man who is very comfortable with lying, or with using his authority to inhibit a citizen from saying no. People like him should be screened out with some sort of psyche tests before being hired, if any such tests even exist. It took quite a while to fire him.

Just think of all those falsified reports he had to produce, describing what went on during his shifts and with whom.

You must have to be really really stupid to risk your career and pension for on duty sexual flings.

Good luck in the future, bub, as you have destroyed your career in LE.

Chico is in California so this is no surprise.

If I'm remembering correctly, Chico is very left and Chico State University was known for accepting pretty much anyone regardless of GPAs or SAT scores.
