Art Acevedo, now police chief of Austin, Texas has received a million dollar settlement from his former employers at the California Highway Patrol. Afraid Acevedo was leaking departmental dirty laundry to the press, the CHP had him surveilled by a private investigator (Dennis Burke) and also undertook a variety of other retaliatory measures against him. Art Acevedo has already made some enemies within the CHP due to an impolitic bid for the Commissioner's desk.
