Trooper in menacing case is placed on paid leave

7/15/2002

An Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper indicted for aggravated menacing has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an administrative decision about her punishment.

A grand jury indicted Rosemary Sullivan Friday for shooting a gun in front of a Swanton Township home and filing a false report that her firearm had been stolen. Patrol officials waited until the grand jury decision before taking action on the case, patrol spokesman Lt. Gary Lewis said.

A final decision on the case will be made after reviewing highway patrol policy.
