Written by In 2023, Angela McCoy filed a lawsuit against Sheriff Richard Thompson and the Wayne County Commission, alleging wrongful termination and discrimination. McCoy, who began working as a clerk in the sheriff’s office in April 2022, sustained a workplace injury in November 2022. She claimed that shortly after reporting the injury and seeking medical attention, she was terminated from her position. The lawsuit alleged that the termination was in violation of workers’ compensation laws and constituted discrimination based on her work-related injury. This case raised concerns about the department’s treatment of employees who sustain injuries on the job.
