Windsor police Const. Dorothy Nesbeth is once again suspended with pay while she appeals her firing.

Nesbeth was found guilty of discreditable conduct, after trying to transport a large amount of undeclared alcohol from Detroit to Windsor.

The incident happened in 2010.

She was not criminally charged, but the Canada Border Services Agency told the Windsor Police Service about the incident and she faced a Police Act hearing.

She was suspended with pay for four years while the Police Act hearing was slowly heard. She collected $400,000 in salary but never worked while the case dragged on for years.

Nesbeth is now back on the police payroll while appealing the decision that was delivered by Supt. Robert J. Fitches on Dec. 19.

"[The] damage to the reputation of the police service, the public interest and the destruction of the relationship of trust between Constable Nesbeth and the Windsor Police Service are such that her good work history and other positive attributes as described in the letters of support, her evaluations and her conduct sheets do no provide sufficient mitigation to erase or alter the fact that her usefulness to the Windsor Police Service has been annulled," Fitches wrote in his conclusion.

After the decision, Windsor Police Chief Al Frederick immediately terminated Nesbeth.
