Drug test, random, dismissal, chain of custody, competent evidence

Shannon Logan appeals decision of the Jefferson Circuit Court affirming his dismissal from the Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service after failing a random drug test. Logan challenges the chain of custody of the drug test lab report, arguing the test results are not reliable.

Jefferson Circuit Court found a "reasonable probability" that the urine sample remained intact throughout the chain of custody, and upheld Logan's dismissal.

Logan loses; Court of Civil Appeals of Alabama affirms decision of Jefferson Circuit Court, disagreeing with Logan that the courier who carried the urine sample from the collection point to the lab need be identified to establish chain of custody.
