Sheriff Ana Franklin – Franklin County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In 2018, Sheriff Ana Franklin was sued by former employee Mr. Sherman, who alleged that she retaliated against him for perceived speech by giving him an ultimatum: resign or lose funding for his defense and indemnity in a pending § 1983 action. Faced with this choice, Mr. Sherman resigned, claiming constructive discharge. The court found that Mr. Sherman adequately alleged a constructive discharge, as Sheriff Franklin’s actions were intended to make his working conditions intolerable, forcing his resignation.
