BAY AREA (Bay News 9) -- Last month former FHP trooper Chris Maul said he was fired for not issuing enough traffic tickets.

The troopers union says it supports his claim, but the Florida Highway Patrol contends ticket quotas don't exist.

However, a June 23 memo obtained by Bay News 9's newspaper partner the St. Petersburg Times cites low citation numbers several times while outlining the reasons for Maul's termination.

Maul worked as a trooper for 12-years, and left the job for 6 months to work with another agency, according to the memo. He was released due to budget cuts.

He was then rehired by the FHP. While he was on a standard probation period, they fired him.

"I believe I was terminated because I didn't write enough tickets," Maul said.

The FHP says that's not true. The FHP says Maul was fired for not meeting performance standards.
