Judge rejects reinstatement bid in Monroe police case
Superior Court Judge Louis Shapiro upheld the Monroe Police Commissioners in a mandamus action seeking Robert Vayan’s reinstatement as a town policeman. The judge noted Vayan has remedies on reinstatement but that mandamus was inappropriate, citing that Vayan never requested a hearing and effectively resigned on October 2, 1957. Defendants included Police Commissioners Covert Schweidtle and Becker and Chief Tufano. The case hinges on whether Vayan quit or was suspended and whether he was heard before resigning.
