Supreme Court Denies To Hear Case Of Former Mingo County Sheriffs Deputy.
The two and a half year saga between Sgt Glen Messer and the Mingo County Sheriffs Department appears to be over.
The WV State Supreme Court denied a request to hear the appeal from the 12 year veteran.
Messer was serving an indefinite suspension.
The controversy began when Sheriff Lonnie Hannah suspended Hannah after he accused Messer of falsifying overtime records following a training session at the West Virginia Police Academy.
A circuit court judge ruled in favor of Meeser. However Hannah appealed to the high court and won.
