Police Protective Association halts legal pay for detectives
The Cedar Rapids Police Protective Association voted 91 to 44 to stop funding further legal fees for detectives Doug Fuller and Don Rosdail, and to explore recouping part of about $8,000 already spent. CEO Sam McClurg said recouping is unlikely as Fuller and Rosdail face Civil Service Commission actions and a suspension. The pair are slated to return to duty in about a week.
