Evidence did not support Board's and court's finding that Plaintiff's felony conviction was for a felony relating to or arising out of or in connection with his service as a municipal employee. Evidence did not establish a clear and specific connection between felony and his municipal employment, nor probability that relationship between Plaintiff and his co-conspirators was cultivated because Plaintiff was a City employee. (CUNNINGHAM and KARNEZIS, concurring.)
