In 2011, Deputy Chief McMahon was investigated for allegedly consuming alcohol in public while wearing his badge and sidearm. An independent investigation concluded he had engaged in conduct unbecoming a police officer by providing false and misleading statements. In February 2012, following a hearing, McMahon was terminated from his position. ([law.justia.com](https://law.justia.com/cases/connecticut/court-of-appeals/2018/ac38678.html?utm_source=openai))
