Major Paul Richard IA IA # 2019-019
Major Paul Richard receives 48 hours off no pay for conduct unbecoming. In his statement the Major admits telling people, "down in front" but belives he was doing so in accordance with sports watching standards. WTF!! Did we not attend this in-service class???? SPORTS WATCHING STANDARDS, really? Is that a class at USF in his masters program? That dude has lost his mind. Couldn't just say, yea a screwed up and take you punishment. Had to deflect and try to put it on others. Bottom line Paul, you were drunk and out of control, again. This time people saw it and you are now accountable for your actions. We'd say take it like a man, but you can't do that.
