Although a VDOT spokesperson wouldn’t elaborate, she confirmed last week that an employee at the agency’s Wythe County headquarters was disciplined after an inmate who was cleaning the worker’s state truck found a gun in the glove compartment.
“It is being handled with disciplinary action internally,” said Michelle Earl, spokesperson for the Virginia Department of Transportation’s Bristol District.
Earl wouldn’t say who the employee was, but she did confirm the accuracy of a summary of the July 28 incident provided anonymously to the newspaper.
