Notice the Captain bars in the picture of the Sergeant that was fired. He was demoted 2 times before they let him go. From Captain to Lieutenant then from Lieutenant to Sergeant. WRAL should look into the reasons behind that as well. He also didn't work at that department for 18 years. He was previously a North Carolina State University Police Officer and left under questionable reasons. Maybe the new secretary will keep a closer eye on the department and stop the habitual hiring of other agency's bad apples and rejects.

NONE of you know what you're talking about! NEITHER of these men did ANYTHING wrong. The entire fiasco is because of one young woman wanting people to bow down & kiss her youknowwhat & causing problems where there aren't any when people don't bow to her! She'll get hers in the end! Guaranteed!

Hmmmm... So I guess they just ignored the state law that covers that, eh? Sure they did.... - Relic

actually, there is no state law covering that. you know it, I know it. here's an idea - PROVE IT

there is a state law covering perjury - perjury is intentionally and knowingly making false statements under oath. police use each other to try and avoid this, i.e. subordination of perjury

They will be off work for about two years, then get reinstated with all back pay--as soon as the political tide changes.

"What about cheating on your wife? Does that merit an investigation as well? What if the SCP are cheating on their wife with a state employee - does that merit an investigation?"

You missed a lot of those stories on the Highway Patrol in the last few years, didn't you?

"unless what they did was a crime.. then it IS NONE OF ANYONES BUSINESS."

No. If a law enforcement officer is charged with a crime, it's public record. WRAL's run several stories on bad cops being charged with crimes. Only public employee administrative investigations are outside of public record with some exceptions of information that are public record. Sorry. No black choppers here.

There are guidelines with secondary employment...1st, it has to be approved by the agency; 2nd, you don't know if they were doing their "other" job duties while on duty with the State Police. There were 2 State Troopers fired in the last year or 2 for "working" their 2nd job while on State time. That is against policy. There are many factors that could be in play here.
