Suspension cut for city policeman

A three day work suspension of Elyria patrolman Robert A. Finch was reduced by one day after the Elyria Civil Service Commission found him innocent on two of three neglect of duty charges. Finch was found guilty of all three charges at a hearing, with the commission upholding a guilty finding that he failed to request a field supervisor after arresting two burglary suspects on March 15. The panel ruled he was innocent of improper handling of prisoners and negligence, noting Finch drew his service revolver during the initial stage of the arrests out of fear and did not know the suspects were unarmed. It also criticized transporting a handcuffed suspect in the back seat, an unwritten policy issue. The commission urged the police department to codify department policy in writing. He had served two days of suspension prior to the hearing.
