Former police chief's termination appeal for cover up attempt is dismissed
Former Saranac Lake Police Chief Donald Perryman was involved in a cover up involving two police officers who were in a car accident on their way home from a training seminar. The officers admitted to drinking that afternoon. Perryman directed another officer to drive the two officers home, arranged to have the car towed from the scene of the accident and did not compel the officers to submit to alcohol testing. Perryman has been charged with 12 counts of misconduct. He filed an Article 78 appeal following his termination claiming that the hearing board’s decision was arbitrary and capricious. The state appeals court dismissed Perryman’s claim and upheld the ruling of the board.
