§ 10.1-1140.1. Defense of forest wardens
If any commissioned forest warden appointed by the State Forester is brought
before any regulatory body, summoned before any grand jury, arrested,
indicted or otherwise prosecuted on any criminal charge arising out of any
act committed in the discharge of his official duties, the State Forester may
employ special counsel approved by the Attorney General to defend the forest
warden. Upon a finding that the forest warden did not violate a law or
regulation resulting from the act which was subject of the investigation, the
State Forester shall pay the special counsel legal fees and expenses subject
to the approval of the Attorney General. The payment shall be made from
funds appropriated for the administration of the Department of Forestry.
