California police chief resigns after investigation into relationship with officer’s wife

“This does not excuse Chief Balderrama’s behavior as it relates to the inappropriate relationship, because, as he has stated, those actions cannot be justified or defended, and are the standards that he holds for himself and that we hold for the chief of police for the city of Fresno,” she said.

Two high-ranking city officials confirmed to The Bee last week that Officer Jordan Wamhoff alleged Balderrama had passed him over for a promotion in order to continue the roughly two-year affair with Wamhoff’s wife. Wamhoff is also a Madera County Board of Supervisor.

City officials did not name Wamhoff directly in Tuesday’s news conference, but they did mention an affair with an officer’s wife.
