A former employee of the Christiansburg Police Department wants his job back. So the 13-year veteran is suing ... for that right and 150-thousand dollars.
Former Lieutenant William Gibbs was let go a little over a year ago.
He was involved in an accident in the Summer of 1999 where alcohol was allegedly a factor. Town police said he refused to co-operate in the internal investigation.
Gibbs says his "due-process rights" were violated.
The case will be heard in FEDERAL Court.

The House of Delegates has given preliminary approval to a bill that would triple the cost of getting a large truck or bus inspected.
The bill's sponsor says the current cost of ten dollars doesn't cover the cost of inspecting the vehicles..
Opponents of the bill say it would hurt small trucking companies, churches and other groups that use their buses to transport members to church events and other functions.
The House votes on the bill tomorrow.

Susan Dunagan has created a tradition of winning at Roanoke College. In her 20 years at the division three school her teams have only had one losing season, they brought home 13 Old Dominion Athletic Conference Championships and 10 N-C-double-A appearances the past 11 years.
Last night against W & L her team was ready to give her another jewel in her career crown--a 400th victory.
It seem easy, as the Maroons took a 20 point halftime lead.

Already in the infancy of his presidency, George W. Bush has made a confession... he can't dance.
None the less the 43rd president and his wife Laura waltzed their way into the White House last night.
We leave you now with sites and sounds from last night's inaugural festivities.
Have a good day.
