Sheriff Terry Mears – Crenshaw County Sheriff’s Office

Written by CBKN76

In August 2019, Sheriff Terry Mears terminated a female deputy after an undisclosed complaint. The deputy alleged she was fired to make room for a male friend of the sheriff. A lawsuit was filed against Sheriff Mears and the Crenshaw County Sheriff’s Department, claiming wrongful termination and gender discrimination. The court dismissed the claims against the department but allowed the case against Sheriff Mears to proceed. The outcome of the lawsuit is not specified in the available information.
