Nobody said he was calling in sick to take charters. A lot of State Troopers have side jobs. Some run construction businesses, landscaping, plumbing, stuff like that. The nature of the job is such that if you have seniority, you can arrange your shifts to be able to have a side job. I know of no rule that states that you can't have a second job on your days off. Even I can have a part time job as long as it doesn't involve practicing law--I could run a charter operation, work in a tackle shop, be a shore guide--you name it. The way the economy is going---I may have to before too long.
The complaint is that he may have called in sick after doing one shift, running a charter, and then being too beat to report for his next one.
