Mississippi Supreme Court August 15, 1990, No. 89-CA-0173 (City of Corinth v. Cox)

HAWKINS, Presiding Justice,

for the Court:

The City of Corinth appeals from a judgment of the circuit court awarding Earnest E. Cox unemployment benefits under the Mississippi Employment Security Act. Because Cox was discharged following a plea of nolo contendere to an indictment for the sale of cocaine, we find this misconduct and that he was not entitled to unemployment benefits.
