Sergeant Raymond Blinn was suspended without pay for 45 days following a December 12, 2006, decision by a hearing board. The board found Blinn guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer due to his criticism of the department’s investigation and personal attacks against superior officers. The charges stemmed from his involvement in a February 1, 2006, arrest and subsequent investigation, where he was accused of interfering with witnesses and withholding evidence. Blinn appealed the decision, seeking reinstatement without loss of pay and benefits. ([casetext.com](https://casetext.com/case/blinn-v-city-of-east-providence?utm_source=openai))
