Dalton v. City of Russellville

Steele Hays, Justice.

Appellant Larry Dalton began employment as a patrolman with the Russellville Police Department in 1980. On September 7,1984 he was discharged by the chief of police for failure to obtain written permission to engage in off duty employment as required by Rule 2-9 of the department.
