Sheriff Robert Kellberg – Burnett County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In 1979, Sheriff Robert Kellberg terminated Arline Soderbeck, a bookkeeper in the Sheriff’s Office, allegedly due to her political affiliations. Soderbeck filed a lawsuit claiming violation of her First Amendment rights. The case, Soderbeck v. Burnett County, Wisconsin, resulted in a jury verdict against Kellberg, affirming that the termination was unconstitutional.

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.
