Ohio troopers fired over Klan outfit prank

By Associated Press

SANDUSKY: Two State Highway Patrol troopers have now lost their jobs over a prank involving what looked like a Ku Klux Klan outfit.

A patrol spokesman announced Monday that Craig Franklin and Eric Wlodarsky of the Sandusky post were terminated. Lt. Tony Bradshaw also says there was just cause for discipline.

A patrol investigation found that Franklin put a white cone on his head and donned a white mask and white cloth the day before Martin Luther King Day. Wlodarsky took a photo that he forwarded on his cell phone.

Gov. Ted Strickland last month asked that the men be fired.

Wlodarsky said Monday that he and Franklin are ''very remorseful.''
