GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – The Green Bay Police and Fire Commission ruled Thursday that Officer Paul Spoerl will be discharged immediately for lying during an internal investigation of the department’s night shift.
An internal investigation discovered that Spoerl lied in order to cover for two other officers who were being investigated for harassing other officers on the night shift.
Both of the officers that Spoerl was covering resigned shortly after the investigation started.
In total, six other officers were suspended various lengths of time due to their role in the night shift harassment.
Spoerl has been suspended without pay since July 31, 2017.
