A firefighter who lost his job after failing a drug test said he should get his job back because his girlfriend laced his food with marijuana without his knowledge.``I'm very despondent -- angry and despondent,'' Carl Chestnut, a 20-year veteran of the department, said Wednesday.
``I feel victimized, that I risked my life for the city and the department, and I'm not being given any consideration. This is like a slap in the face.''On Tuesday, Chestnut filed an appeal with the Fire and Police Commission, and a hearing is expected within the next three to four weeks, said Steve Fronk, hearing examiner with the commission.Chestnut said he tested positive for drugs in late April, because his now ex-girlfriend laced brownies and salads with marijuana beginning in January. She has admitted to trying to get him in trouble because of a dispute over custody of their two children, Chestnut said.Deputy Fire Chief Dan Shea said Chestnut was terminated on May 7, but he would not say why.``I don't want to say anything that's going to deter Carl Chestnut from getting his job back through an appeal,'' Shea said.Shea said the department has a zero-tolerance policy on drug use. http://www.pioneerplanet.com/seven-days/1/news/docs/013389.htm
