Longport was justified in firing an 18-year police veteran who tested positive for drugs after allegedly mishandling evidence during an investigation, an appellate panel ruled. BreakingAC.com reports David Cincotta was one of five officers given a random drug test Nov. 11, 2019 by Chief Frank Culmone. The then-sergeant filled out the paperwork required as part of the test, but did not disclose that earlier in the day he had handled what was believed to be crack cocaine while assisting Linwood police in a motor vehicle stop, according to court documents.
