Town of Essex v. Robert Bush
[450 A.2d 1106]
No. 209-81
Present: Barney, C.J., Billings, Hill, Underwood and Peck, JJ.
Opinion Filed July 22, 1982
Robert J. Perry, South Burlington, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
William D. Robinson, Colchester, for Defendant-Appellee.

Opinion:
Barney, C.J.
In a disciplinary proceeding, the Town of Essex purported to charge the defendant with conduct unbecoming a police officer. The trial court dismissed the action below on the ground that the provisions of 24 V.S.A. § 1982(a) relating to the basis of the charge were not complied with. We are satisfied that that ruling ought not to be disturbed, and the dismissal of the action is therefore validated.
Judgment affirmed.
