What Dave said and more: First you need to look at the following:
What is your position in the company?
Did you raise your voice when you conversed with him?
How long was he on the road when you spoke to him?
What if any instruction did you gave to him?
Is he reporting directly to you?
What time did you converse with him?
Has he received any previous warnings, verbal or written and for what offense?
