A Renton police disciplinary review panel has largely cleared an officer of wrongdoing over his business ties to a prominent member of the Proud Boys extremist group who now faces federal terrorism charges related to January’s attack on the U.S. Capitol.
But the panel also found Officer Trevor Davidson’s past business partnerships with Ethan Nordean broke a department rule that requires officers to first get approval before undertaking outside employment. For that, Davidson has received a written reprimand.

SEATTLE An Auburn-area man and prominent member of the far-right extremist group the Proud Boys, who was captured on video leading a mob of pro-Trump demonstrators to the U.S. Capitol just before it was breached and ransacked, was arrested and charged Wednesday for his alleged role in planning and participating in last month’s deadly insurrection.
Ethan Nordean, a 30-year-old bodybuilder known in right-wing circles by his alias, Rufio Panman, faces four federal criminal counts in the District of Columbia, including obstructing an official proceeding, aiding and abetting injury to government property, disorderly conduct and knowingly and violently entering a restricted building, according to a criminal complaint.
