In April 2018, Deputy Sheriff Gadow and his wife moved into the guest house of 89-year-old Eleanor Gearheart without paying rent or utilities. This arrangement was made to provide Ms. Gearheart with a sense of security due to the presence of a marked police vehicle. In December 2020, Mr. Gadow was terminated from his position after being placed on a list of officers alleged to have committed acts affecting their credibility, integrity, or honesty. He filed a lawsuit alleging wrongful termination and due process violations, but the court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants, concluding that his termination was due to his inability to perform essential job functions.
