Bathroom Visit at Qwest Field Gets Prosecutor Arrested

A Thurston County senior deputy prosecutor who was ejected from Qwest Field on Sunday after employees said he was having sex in a women's bathroom told his boss he was just using the facilities.

King County Sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said two women employees told off-duty sheriff's deputies and Seattle police officers who were working security at the stadium during the Seahawks game that a man and woman were having sex in a bathroom stall.

"We didn't see them having sex but they were clearly in the same stall," Urquhart said of the couple, who told deputies they work together in the Thurston County Prosecuting Attorney's Office.

The deputy prosecutor, William Halstead, 39, handles general felony cases and has developed expertise in negligent-homicide prosecutions and accident-scene reconstruction.

Halstead was arrested for obstructing and trespassing, and later interviewed and released.
