Sergeant Brent Patterson – Madison County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In 2017, Sergeant Brent Patterson was implicated in a federal lawsuit filed by former employee Erica Cagle, alleging sexual harassment and a hostile work environment. The lawsuit accused Patterson, along with Deputy Mike Jones, of engaging in unwanted physical contact, such as massaging Cagle’s shoulders, neck, and head, which was described as ‘disgusting,’ ‘unwanted,’ ‘unsolicited,’ ‘humiliating,’ and ‘demeaning.’ The outcome of the lawsuit is not specified in the available sources.

Why This Matters

By organizing this data, we can potentially demonstrate when officers were previously aware of laws they later claim ignorance of, challenging qualified immunity defenses and promoting accountability.
