Injured Officer Appealed Termination

LONGVIEW � Former Longview police officer, Leigh Ann Snyder filed a request late Monday asking for a hearing before the City of Longview�s appeals committee seeking to reverse the decision to terminate her employment. According to KETK, Snyder was dismissed Dec. 11 after she failed to return to work full time within one year of suffering an on-the-job injury. Snyder was injured December 11, 2011 when her squad car was hit by an intoxicated driver. She returned to light duty, but had to undergo a subsequent surgery in November that kept her from being able to return to full-time duty.
