Woodstock Village Trustees have unanimously voted to terminate
Officer Jennifer Hutchins from service with the Woodstock Police Department.
Saying it was a disciplinary personnel issue, none of the Trustees nor Village Attorney Beth Rattigan nor Woodstock Police Chief Robbie Blish would comment on the decision.
We have no details on the nature of the allegations and no record of the executive session at which the decision was made.
Trustee Chris Miller tried to clarify for some members of the public who asked why they could not hold the hearing in public. No details were provided but Miller said it was to protect the employee.
Rattigan said an earlier hearing had closed with all testimony having been given and today’s meeting was just a continuation of deliberations.
