Supreme court rules on suspended officer



By Jennifer Quinn
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI)- The Pawtucket Police Department is getting a second chance to hold a new hearing on a suspended police officer.
The Rhode Island Supreme Court overturned a ruling by a lower court, which allows the city to hold a hearing on Nicholas Laprade.
Laprade was arrested in 2010 for exposing himself to two women while driving off-duty.
He has been suspended without pay since his arrest.
The city estimates it has spent more than $323,000 on his salary and benefits since August.
