Tagging for updates.
The article is about 2.5 years old, so I'd think its likely settled by now one way or the other. I think there was even a thread on it.
I went through part of the older thread and can't see that there was an outcome. Anyone know if it was settled? Maybe S&S can come on with a new user name and update and get banned again. LOL

It should have been immaterial to the case, but it's a dead certainty that he would never have had this problem at all if he hadn't caused a negligent discharge, even though it was off company property, aggravated by the fact that the law was called in to investigate, never a good thing if you want to keep a low profile.
He pretty much painted a target on his own back, literally.
I suspect it came back to Indiana's hire-at-will-fire-at-will framework. The argument would be that the employer did not have to give any reason, so even if they gave a bad one, it didn't matter.
Or, more likely, dude's story that he was fired for having he AR was... embellished. If the employer fired him without explanation, or for some other valid reason, then game over.
