Attorney Richard Boulanger ruled the town acted inappropriately when it suspended Patrolman James Casey for one day for conduct unbecoming an officer. Morra accused Casey, a six-year veteran of the department, of violations of the Criminal Justice Information Services when the officer obtained information about him during a follow-up inquiry in June 2006. The arbitrator ruled Casey acted properly when he tapped the information system to determine if the selectman had followed his instructions to obtain a Massachusetts driver's license after an earlier traffic stop for speeding. At the time of the stop, Morra was living in Rehoboth but was still using a Rhode Island driver's license from when he lived in East Providence. "The evidence discloses that (Casey) had a legitimate law enforcement basis on June 29, 2006, to follow up on the status of Mr. Morra's license," Boulanger concluded. "There was no just cause for (Casey's) suspension." The town was ordered to rescind the suspension. Morra has been the subject of controversy, himself, having successfully faced a January recall election. He could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
