The Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service Board agrees with its attorney who says Talya Fruge’s rights were not fully protected in a termination action by the City Council.
Consequently, the board Tuesday evening reversed Fruge’s firing and restored her to the job, with all benefits accruring since the mid-May action.
Fruge was suspended after she allegedly failed to assist another officer during an April altercation with a suspect.
She and a second officer at the scene were charged with malfeasance after an investigation requested by Police Chief Ronald Dies.
