BRISTOL — — A veteran police officer faces a three-week suspension after an internal investigation found extensive ethical violations in the department's evidence-handling operation, including a personal collection of handguns.
Sgt. Rodney Gotowala spent years accumulating the guns in the police evidence vault, including several that he obtained "by less than honest and professional" means, according to the investigative report.
They were stored alongside official evidence, and a few had been there so long Gotowala apparently could no longer tell which were city property and which were his, the investigator said.
