Trumbull Police Commissioner to Go Before Public Ethics Hearing

TRUMBULL, CT — The town Ethics Commission voted that Police Commissioner Roger McGovern will go before the commission at a public hearing after deciding there is probable cause he violated standards in the town Code of Ethics.

The board voted unanimously Dec. 14 that a hearing should be held in public, according to the Trumbull Times.

McGovern was investigated by police after being involved in a minor traffic accident with a Stop and Shop employee.

He was the subject of a harassment complaint after he confronted the man about damage to his vehicle near his home and at Stop and Shop according to police.

The man told McGovern he was going to call the police after he visited his home and Stop and Shop on different occasions. McGovern replied, “I am the police,” and left in the last incident, according to a police report.

Police applied for an arrest warrant, but the State's Attorney's office declined to go forward with the case.
