[SIZE=-1]The Louisiana Supreme Court has agreed with a lower court's ruling that there was no reason to test a former Lafayette police officer for drugs.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The ruling means that John Keith Richard may return to law enforcement if he so chooses.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Richard was fired from the Lafayette Police Department in August 2005 after testing positive for steroids during an internal investigation by the department. The investigation followed a raid on the Meaux Avenue apartment of Mark Anthony Cormier, in which officers confiscated several bottles of anabolic steroids.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Richard's termination was upheld by the Lafayette Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service Board and district court, but the Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last year that officials had no reason to conduct a drug test on Richard.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]On Friday, the state Supreme Court agreed with that decision.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]"... We agree with the court of appeal's analysis of the record in reaching the conclusion that the appointing authority, the chief of the Lafayette Police Department, did not establish in this record that he had reasonable suspicion to order a nonrandom drug test of Officer John Keith Richard at the time the test was ordered," the opinion read.[/SIZE]
