COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - An Ohio State Highway Patrol
trooper who was caught driving drunk while speeding at 102 mph has
gotten her job back.
An arbitrator ruled that 40-year-old Tiffany
Wilson's firing last March was "harsh" for a first time DUI offender
with a spotless record as trooper. She was reinstated with back pay and
now works out of the Delaware post near Columbus.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/XXywXu
) reports that Wilson was fired a few weeks after her post lieutenant
pulled her over on Interstate 71 going 102 mph. Her blood alcohol level
was 0.16%, twice the legal limit for driving in Ohio. She was convicted
of DUI.
The arbitrator ruled that Wilson must work under a
"last chance" agreement for five years and can be fired for any work
violation.
