A suspended chief constable has been found guilty of gross misconduct after making false claims about his and his brother's military service in the Falklands War. The misconduct panel heard that the chief constable, who was only 15 at the time of the conflict, lied about his involvement and wore a fake war medal. The panel described his claims as 'utterly preposterous' and a 'pack of lies.' Additionally, he lied about his navy record.
