The first two months of employment, Brad had worked out well as shift supervisor. One day, Barbara received an anonymous note accusing Brad of selling drugs at work. Before confronting Brad, Barbara decided to conduct a more extensive background investigation. The first background investigation determined that he had no records in the county courthouse but she wanted to make sure that he was clear in other areas. A search of the federal district court revealed a mail fraud violation from three years ago. Brad spent a year in federal prison for selling drugs via the mail. Since he had indicated on his application that he had never been convicted of any offense, Barbara then had the right and responsibility to let him go.
