A co-worker’s allegation that former police chief Paul Philipp pursued several extramarital affairs while clocked in at work over the course of three years —and that he misused public funds in doing so — led to the chief’s sudden and unexpected retirement in January, according to documents recently obtained by the Herald.

Judy Boorman, Philipp’s former secretary, filed an internal complaint in January that alleged the then-chief used a city vehicle, as well as city landline and cellular telephones, to carry out affairs from late 2000 through 2003. Boorman retired in September 2009 after 22 years with the Austin Police Department.
