Officer Scott Ferrigno – Westerly Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In 2016, Officer Scott Ferrigno was terminated under allegations of leaving a detail assignment early. However, Ferrigno contended he stayed longer than instructed and that his termination was retaliatory, stemming from his opposition to an unlawful wage deduction scheme. He filed a lawsuit, leading to a settlement that included reinstatement, back pay, and compensation for damages.
