Former patrol deputy George Rapp was terminated in May 2016 for policy violations and threatening the health and well-being of fellow employees. He had received six reprimands in his first five years, including incidents of speeding to assist a fellow officer and appearing to fall asleep in his patrol car. After challenging his termination through arbitration, Rapp was reinstated in January 2019 but assigned to a corrections officer role. He filed a lawsuit alleging wrongful termination, discrimination, defamation, and civil rights violations. In July 2022, the U.S. District Court dismissed his lawsuit, citing a lack of evidence and legal authority to support his claims.
