TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Wednesday evening the Terre Haute Fire Merit Board held their meeting and discussed a firefighter that is currently facing child molestation charges.

Roger Plunkett II is on paid administrative leave after being arrested in September for allegedly molesting two small girls between 1998 and 2005.

The merit board heard from both sides Wednesday night. These meetings are only looking at his violation of the Terre Haute Fire Department rules and regulations.

Terre Haute Fire Chief Jeff Fisher recommended to the board that Plunkett be fired.

Plunkett recently bonded out of jail.

The board did not decide on what to do Wednesday night.

The Fire Merit Commission will decide on a date to announce their final decision. That day there will also be a public hearing.
