CPD CANDIDATE'S INDEBTEDNESS RESULT OF BEING CRIME VICTIM-HRB REINSTATES

Applicant J.B was disqualified by the CPD for marijuana use and because he had excessive indebtedness. A hearing was held before the Human Resources Board and the Department's witness was impeached on numerous topics. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board voted unanimously to reverse the Department's decision and order immediate reinstatement to the list of qualified applicants. The Board held that the department failed to prove that applicant's marijuana use was within 3 years of application. Also, the Board ruled that the Department failed to consider the source of the debt and found that because the majority of the debt was from applicant's medical bills after being stabbed during a robbery, the mitigating circumstances made the disqualification unreasonable. 15 HRB 051 (2016)
