Superior police officer keeps job, faces suspension after admitting to theft | Superior Telegram | Superior, Wisconsin

A Superior police officer won’t lose his job after admitting he stole more than $5,000 from fellow officers in the department.

Attorney Rick Gondik, representing Babic, presented numerous cases in which officers did something out of character, in most cases resulting in criminal charges that didn’t lose their jobs despite the illegality of their actions.

Among them a police captain who admitted to drinking and driving when he was involved in a hit and run, an officer accused of an incident of road rage, an officer who pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct after a charge of domestic abuse fifth-degree was dismissed, and an officer found guilty of providing false statements in court 17 years ago. Then-Police Chief Doyle Barker had sought termination, but the commission opted for suspension and training.
