Deputy Kristopher Adams filed a lawsuit on December 28, 2023, alleging racial discrimination by Sheriff Mark Pettway. Adams claimed that a less experienced and less qualified black deputy was promoted to an investigator position he had applied for and was qualified for. After filing a grievance, Adams alleged that he was reassigned to a less desirable position, resulting in loss of pay and opportunities. The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment, back pay, damages, and legal fees.
