In June 2019, Officer McClain responded to a domestic violence complaint at the apartment of former Bridgeport police officer Steven Figueroa. McClain and his partner, Officer Napoleone, failed to conduct a thorough investigation, leaving without further inquiry. This negligence allowed Figueroa to continue assaulting the victim. McClain was terminated in July 2020 for mishandling the incident. He filed a grievance and a federal lawsuit alleging wrongful termination. In April 2024, a jury awarded him $780,000 in damages, finding that city officials violated his constitutional rights.
