Former Trooper David Shockey’s appeal of his firing in December following an OVI crash has been delayed due to the coronavirus.

Shockey was fired on Dec. 20 for conduct unbecoming of an officer. He had appealed his firing and an arbitation hearing had been scheduled for Mar. 19, but that hearing has been delayed until April due to the coronavirus.

Shockey, 44, was charged with OVI following a crash on July 23 outside Sparky's Lounge.

He’s pleaded not guilty to the charges and his case is still ongoing.
