A Racine police sergeant is returning to duty after collecting more than 150-thousand dollars over a 30-month investigation. Sergeant Terrence Jones with the Racine P-D was cleared after being placed on administrative leave for two-and-a-half-years. He was accused of inaccurately recording overtime hours, but the investigation revealed that Jones actually recorded his hours correctly and even donated some of his time without getting paid. The department blamed the length of the investigation on the fact that there were several officers involved in shooting investigations that needed attention first. State Senator Van Wanggaard said the officer involved shooting investigations shouldn’t be an excuse for such a long extension of Jones’ suspension.
