Sergeant Jerome Felder – Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In 2016, Sergeant Felder was accused of telling a citizen to ‘shut up’ during a phone conversation. Despite the citizen later denying the incident, Felder was placed on unpaid suspension, demoted, and eventually fired in January 2017. Felder filed a lawsuit alleging wrongful termination and defamation, resulting in a $25,000 settlement in October 2019.

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.
