Former Police Chief West engaged in a consensual sexual relationship with a dispatcher, Ms. Hammond, while she was employed at the Eufaula Police Department. After Ms. Hammond ended the relationship, she alleged that she was treated more harshly by her superiors and received disciplinary write-ups. This situation led to a lawsuit filed by Ms. Hammond and another employee, Ms. Hartsfield, alleging retaliation, discrimination, and a hostile work environment. The case was reviewed in 2011.
