Judge orders reinstatement -- A judge on Friday ordered Eagle Mountain to reinstate and give backpay to a paramedic who was fired in March because he reported potential medical malpractice and sexual harassment incidents to his superiors.

In an appeals board hearing on Friday, Judge Dennis J. Fuchs heard arguments from city attorney Jerry Kinghorn that Bryan Miner had been "telling lies" and had been "reckless with the truth" when he reported the incidents.

But Fuchs, who did not even pause after the closing argument before delivering his verdict, said Miner had an obligation to report both incidents and therefore had been terminated wrongfully. He ordered the city to pay Miner backpay and immediately give him his job back.

Miner, who was fired on March 18, was hugged by his fiance after the judge gave his ruling. When asked to comment, Miner consulted with Eagle Mountain Mayor Heather Jackson and then said he would "hold off to see how Eagle Mountain wants to handle me."

The city will gather key staff on Monday to decide whether to appeal Fuchs's decision, said Linda Peterson, spokeswoman for Eagle Mountain. The city has 30 days to file an appeal.

In the meantime, Miner will be greeted back at work hospitably because that is what city policy requires in cases such as these "and we would expect nothing less than that to happen," Peterson said.

The city would not comment on specifics of the case, she said.
