Portsmouth Officer Involved In Inheritance Scandal Contesting Termination

I have previously discussed the story about the Portsmouth Police Sergeant who was controversially named as the beneficiary of a $2.7 million estate.  Police Sergeant Aaron Goodwin is now contesting his termination from the police force as a result of his involvement in the inheritance dispute.  Goodwin’s termination case is expected to go into an arbitration process that could last from six months to a year.  The Chief of Police Stephen DuBois fired Goodwin in June because of his relationship with Geraldine Webber, the wealthy decedent who named Goodwin the beneficiary of her estate.  This relationship included taking Webber out to drinks and even to a casino at one point.
