HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — A former Hutchinson police officer who was fired for lying lost his appeal to be returned to his job.

The Hutchinson City Council on Tuesday upheld the firing of Charles Malvo for lying during an internal affairs investigation. He was the second officer who lost an appeal of his firing for lying during the investigation. The second officer, Lorenzo Bohringer, has taken his case to court.

The Hutchinson News reports  Malvo, Bohringer and Jamin Raigoza were fired in December 2013 after a woman complained Raigoza was harassing her, including showing up at her job and house and asking for sex and showing her an inappropriate picture.

Malvo and Bohringer are accused of lying during the investigation into the woman’s complaint.
