Chief Ed Hargis was named in a lawsuit filed by Officer Dan Sullivan in July 2017. The lawsuit alleged that Hargis ordered a negative evaluation of Sullivan after an internal investigation cleared him of wrongdoing related to a ‘Blue Lives Matter’ rally. Sullivan claimed this was part of a pattern of retaliation and creating a hostile work environment. The outcome of the lawsuit is not specified in the available sources.
