Bellevue Deputy Marshal Nate Silvester was fired Thursday following a viral TikTok video mocking NBA Star LeBron James. Silvester was initially placed on leave for a week but had returned to work. The mayor described the firing as Silvester’s “failure to follow clearly laid out well-established policies.” In a Facebook post Thursday morning, Bellevue Mayor Ned Burns wrote that Deputy Marshal Nate Silvester was terminated from the Bellevue City Marshal’s Office for “continued policy violations.”
Burns referred to the violation of “several” city and state policies on policing during the week of May 20. The mayor said Silvester’s termination had nothing to do with his online posts and he did not specify the exact reasoning for the termination.
