Holding

Grievance modified. The Arbitrator found that Grievant committed acts of misconduct on and off duty and that State Troopers must be held to a higher standard. However, the Arbitrator found that this conduct was mitigated by Grievant’s documented diagnosis with bipolar disorder and a 13-year record of being a “fine trooper.” The Arbitrator modified the removal to a four-month suspension, but the Employer was ordered only to reemploy Grievant if a competent medical professional deemed it safe for Grievant to resume his duties.
