Sgt. Douglas Stewart resigned in February after a woman he helped send to prison in a historic drug bust disclosed that she had a five-year sexual relationship with him while on federal bond and parole, according to sheriff's office memos obtained by Mike Martindale of The Detroit News, who writes:

Stewart even drove the woman, Rachel Bais-Torres, to a federal prison in 2014 to start her five-year, seven-month sentence after they vacationed together in Florida, she told investigators. She was released to a halfway house in July 2016.

According to the memos, Bais-Torres told sheriff’s investigators she "loved" Stewart and thought he "loved her also."

But their alleged relationship soured this year when the ex-convict learned Stewart was married and his wife threatened to contact her parole officer, Bais-Torres said in an interview with The Detroit News. Fearing she would be sent back to prison, she contacted the sheriff’s office and told them about the affair, according to the memos.
