In 2005, Officer Arthur Burton faced disciplinary charges related to an incident on March 25, 2005. The Town of Westerly Police Department brought charges against him, but due to procedural issues, including the department’s failure to provide required disclosures, the hearing committee found Burton ‘Not Guilty based upon lack of evidence.’ ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/rhode-island/superior-court/2006/06-2395.html?utm_source=openai))
