PARKER WANTS JOB BACK vs

A FORMER MONTEREY COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY STILL WANTS HIS JOB BACK. LOUIS PARKER LOST HIS POSITION IN 2002 AFTER HIS ASSAULT RIFLE ACCIDENTALLY DISCHARGED, AND HIT A SHOP OWNER. THE RIFLE WAS IN ITS BAG (BROUGHT IN FOR EMBROIDERY), WHEN IT HIT SHOP OWNER DONALD INGALLS. HE IS STILL RECOVERING FROM THE INCIDENT. EARLIER THIS YEAR, AN ARBITRATOR RECOMMENDED PARKER GET HIS JOB BACK. BUT THE MONTEREY COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS DECIDED TO FOLLOW THE SHERIFF'S RECOMMENDATION, NOT TO ALLOW PARKER'S RETURN TO THE FORCE. AN INVESTIGATION CONDUCTED BY THE COUNTY D.A.'S OFFICE SAID, THE INCIDENT WAS AN ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.
