Eric Magrini – Shasta County Sheriff’s Office

Former Sheriff Eric Magrini was accused of retaliating against Captain Pat Kropholler after Kropholler submitted a whistleblower letter alleging wrongdoing within the sheriff’s office. Kropholler also claimed age discrimination, stating he retired five years earlier than planned due to a hostile work environment. In January 2025, Shasta County settled Kropholler’s lawsuit for nearly $2.8 million.

Why This Matters
