Report: Prosecutor whose Facebook Post Generated Controversy Faces Ethics Probe

A Washington County Deputy District Attorney who was suspended because of a Facebook post that seemed to condone racial profiling now faces an ethics probe, according to a report in The Oregonian.

Zoe Smith, who returned to work after a week's suspension, is the subject of four complaints, according to the report.

The paper says that the complaints - including one from the Oregon Commission on Black Affairs - want the Oregon State Bar to investigate Smith's comments, calling them "dangerous and unethical."

Smith has until April 12 to respond.
