RALEIGH
A former North Carolina trooper fired after what authorities say was a drunken sexual encounter with the wife of a subordinate is trying to get his job back.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Tuesday that 39-year-old Sgt. Timothy White of Salisbury was fired June 2 from the Highway Patrol. Documents at the state Office of Administrative Hearings indicate he was fired after he continued to contact the other trooper's wife even though he had been told to stay away from her.
White is appealing on the grounds that he was being treated more harshly than other troopers accused of similar behavior.
A state report indicates that White had a sexual encounter Dec. 17 with another trooper's wife. White told The News & Observer that he only remembers kissing the woman.
