Highway Patrol demotes lieutenant, citing absences, antics with women
Thursday, August 25, 2005

Columbus- The head of Gov. Bob Taft's security detail has been demoted after an investigation found that he attended strip clubs in New York, tried to pick up a woman at a bar during Taft's trade mission to Asia and received phone calls at his office from a go-go dancer in Columbus.

A State Highway Patrol report issued Wednesday says the dancer even left her name when she called the governor's Executive Protection Unit in the Riffe Center: "Cinnamon, from Columbus Gold."...

The investigation did not substantiate allegations that Seitz was a member of the "Noe Supper Club," the bacchanal hosted by Republican fund-raiser and coin dealer Tom Noe, who is under criminal investigation.

It also found no wrongdoing in the award this year of a $250,000 janitorial contract from the Ohio Expositions Commission to Seitz's wife, Veronica.
