Clarkstown Police Sergeant Sues Town Officials

According to The Journal News the officer was stopped from looking into political contributions to town officials.

A Clarkstown police sergeant has sued town officials, The Journal News reports.

In the suit, Detective Sgt. Stephen Cole-Hatchard said he was removed as director of the Rockland County Strategic Intelligence Unit because he had been checking up on a large contribution to local Republican campaigns — including Town Supervisor George Hoehmann — from a member of the force who had been dismissed, the paper reported.

The suit claims that the Town Board's suspension of Clarkstown Police Chief Michael Sullivan is related, according to TJN.
