Nick Adderley, a suspended Northamptonshire Police officer, is accused of exaggerating his rank and length of service.
A chief constable who claimed to have served in the Falklands even though he was only 15 at the time also told a 'pack of lies' about his brother's involvement in the conflict, a gross misconduct hearing has been told. Nick Adderley, a suspended Northamptonshire Police officer, made 'utterly preposterous' claims about his brother receiving a medal after fighting in the Falklands, the panel heard.
Mr Beggs said: 'Mr Adderley asserted in interview that his brother went to the Falklands on the HMS Hermes. He repeats that, but in fact he wasn't. 'How plausible is it that a brother wouldn't know if his brother had served in the conflict? It is something you would know with exquisite detail.
