Staff report
WARREN
The Warren Civil Service Commission had a nearly four-hour hearing Wednesday morning regarding a woman fired from her job as a family liaison for the Warren City Schools.
The commission decided it had jurisdiction to hear an appeal of the firing and listened to testimony from several witnesses.
The matter involved Honeya D. Price, 41, of Perkinswood Boulevard Northeast, who was fired after being charged Jan. 16 with carrying a concealed weapon and improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle.
She purportedly brandished a firearm in the parking lot of Giant Eagle on Elm Road while off work.
Price worked at the Lincoln K-8 school.
Civil-service commission members asked the school system’s attorney and the attorney for Price to submit written briefs by mid-May, and it plans to issue its decision on the matter in early June.
