Paid admin leave would be the smart choice if i were mgmt in that situation. It would allow me to appease the public (in high profile) as well as protect the rights of the accused until the court adjudicated the case.

Not to mention that would be much less costly than getting ones butt kicked after the fact in arbitration.
Pretty sure he got his job back, and the locality paid for his lost wages.
