I am a very trustworthy and nice person, and after 4 years, I couldn't believe he would think I would do something like this.

Regardless of the type of person you are, this attitude makes no sense. Since you actively resigned, you obviously knew, before hand, that you were leaving and could have sabotaged the company then, before your resignation.
Having said that, it's certainly not unusual for companies to let resigned persons take a leave of absence during their resignation period. The idea behind that, I think, is that there's no motivation for you to work (well or at all) during that period so why make you come in? I mean, what are they going to do, fire you? They would only make you come in if what you do is timely (you interact with customers, everyday, who will miss you). For a lot of jobs (like mine, a computer programmer), a two week absence won't be noticed...
