Chief Deputy Mike Coyle – Madison County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In 2011, Chief Deputy Mike Coyle was named in a federal lawsuit alleging that he conspired with Sheriff Jerry Combs to terminate two employees, Bobby J. McMahan and George Hunter, for supporting the re-election of former sheriff Nelson O’Donnell. The lawsuit claimed that their actions violated the employees’ First Amendment rights and Kentucky’s fair labor standards. The outcome of the lawsuit is not specified in the available sources.
