No Charges Will Be Filed Against Former Pawhuska Police Chief

No chargers will be filed against former Pawhuska Police Chief Nick Silva following an investigation into his relationship with an informant.

Washington County District Attorney Kevin Buchanan said Silva was in a sexual relationship with a confidential informant, but he says no law was broken since the relationship was consensual.

Buchanan said Silva's conduct was unprofessional.

Silva spoke with News On 6 about the case saying in part, "we respected all individuals involved, including our informants. I tip my hat to the Washington County DA."
