After an executive (closed to the public) session during last night's Middletown Borough Council meeting, the council president announced that a police officer has been suspended for three days.
The officer, who was not identified, was suspended for "conduct unbecoming to a police officer."
The suspension was not related to yesterday's tree-removal protest in the downtown business district that led to arrests of two business owners. An earlier report was incorrect.
The reason for the officer's suspension was not made public.
