Written by In September 1980, Officer Schmitt removed marijuana from an abandoned vehicle and gave it to a police dispatcher accompanying him on patrol. His inventory report failed to disclose the discovery, and he initially denied the incident before later admitting it. The Aberdeen Civil Service Board found that his removal was made in good faith for cause but modified the termination to a seven-week suspension without pay, after which he was reinstated.
