Wootton Will Stay With Force, Returns to Patrol
Essex, Vermont - November 23, 2009
An Essex police officer who was acquitted in an animal cruelty case will keep his job and has returned to duty.
Officer Michael Wootton was off duty last Spring, when he shot and killed his neighbors dog who was fighting with his.
Until his trial the officer was on full-paid administrative duties. After Wootton was acquitted, Essex police said they would review the evidence and testimony from the trial before determining his future with the department.
Chief Leo Nadeau says officer Wootton will stay with the department and has been returned to full-time duty.

Modern-day civilized state, Vermont. All the modern amenities. Hot 'n cold running indoor water, indoor toilets, sidewalks and fire hydrants and all.
Especially Essex Center/Essex Junction. Simply lovely places to raise your children. Just like living inStepford, Connecticuta Norman Rockwell painting.
With all due apologies to Mac Davis, Happiness was Essex Junction, Vermont in the rear-view mirror of my mother's 1990 Crown Victoria.
