A disciplinary board upheld the firing of a police officer amid a sex scandal. The decision cited conduct unbecoming and violations of department policy, with the officer facing termination after an internal investigation and hearing.
Judge Michael McVey denied Theresa Dickson's challenge to her August 1992 termination for conduct unbecoming an officer after a sex scandal with Elliget. The Mesa Personnel Board and City Manager Charles Luster supported the firing, while Lt. Bill Hamilton appeals separately. The ruling preserves the city’s disciplinary action and notes waivers on constitutional issues.
The report notes Hamilton among six officers accused in a diary detailing Laurie Elliget’s sex life over years. Hamilton denies sexual relations with Elliget and denying lying to internal affairs investigators. Elliger faces 14 years in prison for nude photos of a 16 year old and arranging sex for a 13 year old boy with his blindfolded wife.
