Caitlin Howarth, a rookie officer with West Yorkshire Police, was accused of being involved with one of the leaders of the UK’s drug trade, but the case was dismissed. However, she may still be investigated for her conduct after allegedly having an affair with a married police chief, 17 years her senior.

West Yorkshire Police said the Crown Prosecution Service “is not presenting evidence, which means she has been cleared of the charge.” The 24-year-old resigned from her police post.

Caitlin Howarth will also face a misconduct investigation as she allegedly had an affair with Chief Superintendent Daniel Greenwood, who is married and 17 years older than her.

Greenwood was suspended with full pay after the allegations. Howarth is set to face trial in 2025.
