Tasha Hewitt – Wood County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

Deputy Tasha Hewitt filed a lawsuit in 2022 against the Wood County Commission, the Sheriff’s Department, former Sheriff Steve Stephens, former Chief Deputy Robert Sims, and Wood County Prosecutor Pat Lefebure, alleging gender discrimination, retaliation, deprivation of due process, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit claimed Stephens called her a ‘whore’ and created a hostile work environment. The case was settled in April 2024 for $105,000, with the county’s portion being $15,000 and the rest covered by insurance.
