ALAMEDA COUNTY | Former Alameda County Chief Probation Officer David Muhammad arrived in 2011 among much fanfare. He left in an equally spectacular cloud of disgrace and revile earlier this year amid allegations he forcefully sexually assaulted an underling at the San Leandro Marina.
Alameda County investigators, last June, however, found the allegation by a woman in the probation department was “unsubstantiated.” Muhammad, though, resigned while some county supervisors lauded his efforts. The county is still representing Muhammad in his civil case.
But, according to sources, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors unhealthy love affair with Muhammad is going on despite his alleged monstrous activity in May 2011 when the victim said in court filings Muhammad forcefully kissed and digitally penetrated her at the San Leandro Marina. The filings and other newspaper accounts regarding Muhammad’s activity in Washington, D.C. also suggest a history with assaulting women.
The media’s complicity in reforming Muhammad’s public image caught the attention of some county employees who expressed disgust over an opinion piece in the Bay Area News Group papers Oct. 20 authored by Muhammad, who describes himself as the former chief probation officer for Alameda County and presently a consultant for various non-profits. The article clearly represents a very public reintroduction of Muhammad despite the allegations against him. It also signals a renewed partnership with him and the county.
Over the past two years, there has been no doubt Muhammad’s rough-hewn biography and seductive ways have lulled Alameda County Supervisors Nate Miley, Keith Carson and others for some time. Critics have charged the county with being extremely lax in its vetting of Muhammad for the job, citing a simple Google search of his background quickly offers questionable activity in his past. Carson, went as far as to heap effusive praise on Muhammad this summer even with the horrific charges still hovering over his head. According to county sources, both cannot seem to detach themselves from Muhammad.
In addition to the opinion piece, Muhammad has had a hand in procuring a federal grant for Alameda County, along with acting as a consultant on probation issues. His continued involvement within the battered probation department is also creating an understandable rift between the interim chief LaDonna Harris and her department, along with its relationship to the Board of Supervisors, sources told The Citizen last week.
Muhammad’s presence at the county level, in fact, has some employees worried about his eventual return to the probation department. Except, there is one huge hindrance in the way—the victim still works there.

Clearly some of you have no clue as to what is going on in Alameda County. FACT: The alleged victim in the Muhammad matter has made a career of sleeping with her superiors and then suing. That is on the record and is why the Attorney General had no interest in prosecuting Muhammad criminally.
Just because she is sleazy it doesn't excuse Muhammad's unprofessionalism for the affair though.
FACT: Nate Miley's close pal LaDonna Harris was totally disliked at the Sheriff's Office and is apparently even more unpopular at the Probation Office. It has nothing to do with Muhammad and everything to do with her being absolutely incapable of leadership, her willingness to let the corrupt upper managers run amok and her complete ignorrance as to how the job of Probation is done.
FACT: The real scandal is the nice little deal Miley gave her in which she collects ALL her retirement pay while collecting a full-time salary. They claim to us in other county agencies that she is working part time so that she can work legally even though they pay her a full wage. The board of supervisors loves her and will keep her on indefinitely because she will not argue with them. At least the earlier Chiefs as incompetent as they might or might not have been, would stand up for doing the right tthing.

As an Alameda County tax payer, I'm outraged that someone like David Mohammad was allowed to victimize a woman at the probation department. No matter what the “relationship” was between him and the victim, it was an abuse of power. I can't believe the Alameda County Board of Supervisors is still using him as a consultant. Haven't they had enough scandal, with Nadya Lockyer's drug addled exploits, Nate Miley using public funds for his health club memberhip while he openly smokes his weed. I also believe Miley was involved in some type of scandal regarding misappropriation of funds Who are these people. We've got fools making important decisions about this County. Remember, when it comes time to vote – A FISH ROTS FROM THE HEAD DOWN!

In regard to the comment of 6:25PM on November 21 who accused the Alameda County Board of Supervisors as being “a group of corrupt idiots,” please let me “defend” them, or at least some of them.
More specifically, while I have believed for quite some time that some of the people who have in recent years served on the AC Board of Supervisors have been corrupt and/or idiots, however I can also think of a few who I have felt were decent people as far as integrity but still total idiots.
So would anyone mind if I referred to them not as corrupt idiots but instead as honest idiots???
For instance, I do not think Nadia Lockyer was particularly corrupt or unusually sleazy, or at least based on the “standards” of politics, and although she was definitely a world class birdbrain, nut, fruitcake, and idiot.

You people all are idiots. The fact that you are siding with the accusor is crazy. Cant you see that this happens everyday with men and women, he said she said. These two had some form of a relationship that went sour. This woman had an affair with Muhammad that did not end the way she wanted it to. So the best way to get him back was with slander. If I was sexually assulted I would have went to the police dept and filed a claim and would have wanted the person to do jail time. Im afraid for my job crap is what the alleged victim claimed, it took nine months for her to come forth? Muhammad made the woman promises to this woman that he did not keep,like every man does. Muhammand cant even tell his side because she is the alleged victim. What about the football player who went to jail for 5 years because a female said he raped her? She later came out and said it was not true. What about the Steve Mcnair story? It is not a crime fora man to be a womanizer, people you will find out very soon that this was a retaliation againt Muhammad.

A reliable source from the Probation Department said that a unit supervisor written exam for probation dept was conducted a few weeks ago and all the officers who passed the test were scheduled for a oral interview. This oral interview process was cancelled because some officers that the currrent admin or the Board of sups wanted as supervisors did not pass the initial test. It is very sad to see the Civil service commission and the hiring process controlled by Board of Sups. This County is going into the shits morally and ethically. They will start paying up a lot of money soon because of plain stupidity.
