Tugwell v. Plaquemines Parish Government

PAUL A. BONIN, Judge.

1¶ Arlington C. Tugwell seeks review of a decision rendered by the Plaquemines Parish Civil Service Commission affirming the disciplinary action — a five-day suspension — imposed upon him by the Plaque-mines Parish Government for causing a preventable accident that resulted in damage to a Parish owned dump truck. We note at the outset, however, that Mr. Tug-well does not deny the occurrence of the underlying accident, or that it was preventable. Rather, Mr. Tugwell argues that his - punishment was excessive and merits modification. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.
