LAS VEGAS, Aug. 7 (UPI) -- A U.S. judge has ruled the First Amendment gives a Las Vegas police detective who practices Orthodox Judaism the right to wear a beard.
Detective Steve Riback, who is not required to wear a uniform in his position at quality assurance, filed a lawsuit alleging religious discrimination by the Metropolitan Police Department for not allowing him to wear a beard and a yarmulke to work, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported Thursday.
