1Opinion of the Court
FAIR, J., FOR THE COURT:
¶ 1. The City of Bay St. Louis fired Louis Bourgeois after he asked a police officer to run a license plate number for him. Bourgeois said a vehicle had been following him, and he feared it related to his job as a fire inspector. But it turned out that the man who owned the vehicle was dating Bourgeois's former girlfriend, and the City concluded that Bourgeois's story about being followed was a pretext to pursue a personal vendetta. The City's civil service commission affirmed Bourgeois's firing, and the circuit court affirmed the commission. We affirm as well.
