CUMMING — The Forsyth County Civil Service Board is weighing the case of a former local sheriff’s deputy who was fired earlier this summer during investigation of a fraudulent legal practices case. The three-member panel, which met all day Thursday and Friday on the matter, has 30 days to make a decision on whether to reverse Paul Whitfield’s termination. The case will be discussed in a future closed meeting, with the ruling announced at a called public session.
