MISSISSIPPI EMPLOYMENT SEC. COM'N v. LEE

No. 89-CC-0830.

580 So.2d 1227 (1991)

MISSISSIPPI EMPLOYMENT SECURITY COMMISSION v. James Lee.

Supreme Court of Mississippi.

May 3, 1991.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jan Garrick, Jackson, for appellant.

No Brief Filed for appellee.

Before DAN M. LEE, P.J., and McRAE and BANKS, JJ.

BANKS, Justice, for the court:

I.

The question now before the Court is whether taking a firearm to work in violation of company policy is a deliberate act which constitutes misconduct sufficient to disqualify a terminated employee from receiving unemployment benefits. We hold that it is. As a result we reverse the decision by the Adams County Circuit Court and reinstate order of the Mississippi Employment Security Commission's Board of Review.
