The State Highway Patrol was justified in firing a trooper who juggled his work as a Robeson County commissioner and for a nonprofit organization while on duty, an administrative law judge ruled today.
Trooper Hubert Sealey’s dismissal was made public last May, but the reason was not disclosed at the time. The details emerged in today’s decision. Sealey had appealed on the grounds that the state didn’t have just cause to fire him and that he was discriminated against because he is black.
