I was terminated from my law enforcement job in a small village in Ohio after being accused of falsifying my time card, leaving work without permission, and making derogatory remarks towards the department and its leaders. I was initially suspended without pay and then given a three-day suspension without pay. After returning to work, I was late due to a scheduling misunderstanding, which led to another interview and eventual termination. I have never received copies of any complaints or suspension paperwork when requested. The chief of police is retiring soon. Do I have any recourse to keep my job or challenge the termination?
