But would not reveal their names. When asked if one looked like the ex-inmate described
by Inmate _i,AC Gregg said yes but still refused to give any names. AC Gregg was
reinterviewed on 3/17/03 and did admit that he tells inmates that he has a buddy who is
the manager at the Denny's in Bremerton and to go see him if they need jobs after they
get out.
EVIDENCE: None

CONCLUSION: AC Gregg refutes all allegations, however while being interviewed he
added vital information to the question about the banana At no time during the
questioning was the banana mentioned to be between his legs butduring his denial he
stated "I did not place the banana between my legs ..." AC Gregg became agitated upon
this realization. AC Gregg stated that he had never told any inmates about any cases on
him yet two inmates had information that they claim he told them about past and the
current case. ACGregg has admitted to telling inmates about getting jobs at the Denny's
in Bremerton. Two of the key inmates in this investigation
