State police angered by Sound Off collusion claim
The Journal's Sound Off column drew ire from Sgt. Edward Pass at the Corry substation after a caller alleged collusion between state police and District Justice Porter Auer over a pedestrian collision. Trooper Norbert Irish struck Mrs. Allan Hasbrouck at South Center and South streets. Irish received a two day suspension and losses totaling about $100. Pass said Irish was disciplined, while a simple reckless driving charge would have been cheaper. Auer disqualifies himself in cases involving his son in law and passes them to Union City or Waterford. Mrs Hasbrouck intervened with Capt. Hankinson to defend Irish, noting he was turning and she was not visible.
