Trooper, Butner police officers placed on administrative leave

Butner, N.C. — A Highway Patrol trooper and two Butner police officers are on administrative leave, officials said Wednesday.

All three are the subject of internal investigations stemming from the same allegations of misconduct

The Highway Patrol will not discuss details, because they say it's a personnel matter.

Administrative leave is paid yes but it is not time off, it is working in the office doing paperwork, but he does not have his badge, gun, car and uniform. There are 1800+ Troopers working in NC and to use earlier comments this breaks down to 0.00055555555% of the Troopers out there. Not a big batch of bad apples. What is sad is that ALL companies have drama but they are lucky enough to not have it thrown out there for the whole state/world to comment on. Our taxes definitely are not so high as to warrant us having every detail of what goes on. There are confidential matters in all companies that the employees don't expect and assume to be told so why do we think we should be different just because we pay some taxes. This is NOT our business. This is between the HP and Butner...We do not deserve to know everything and does he really deserve to be fired? Why not demoted or taken off of the road, would you be fired from your job just because you got a DWI? Yes he should be held to a high
