A judge is expected to decide by Tuesday when a Cuba City police officer gets to keep her job.
Police Chief Terrence Terpstra is accusing Officer Kimberly Jackson of insubordination and neglect of duty.
His frustration with the officer came to a head last December when she and a second officer transported a prisoner to Madison, earning 11 hours of overtime.
The chief says his department has a small budget and it shouldn’t have taken two officers to transfer the prison.
Officer Nathan Kennicker says he called the chief to get clearance for the overtime and Terpstra didn’t answer.
A disciplinary hearing was held last Thursday.
