High Point Police Chief Donald Roseman testified before the Civil Service Commission that Patrol Officer Tim Jacobs was dismissed in October on Captain George Leverett’s recommendation for abuse of sick leave and a poor work record.

Schafer, an orthopedic surgeon, testified Jacobs had neck and back pains from a March patrol car accident and could not be cured by treatment.
