TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- An investigator who was fired in the wake of a bungled drug case should be allowed to return to the Tallahassee Police Department.

That's according to an arbitrator, whose decision was reported by the Tallahassee Democrat on Saturday.

Ryan Pender was fired for roles in a botched drug sting that led to the death of Rachel Hoffman, a young informant.

Hoffman, a Florida State University graduate who was recruited by police as an informant after being caught with drugs, was killed in the operation. She was shot five times in Tallahassee in May 2008 after police lost track of her during a drug deal.
