Thomas Whitener – Ashland Police Department

Written by CBKN76

Former Officer Thomas Whitener filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the City of Ashland in October 2023, claiming he was fired in retaliation for reporting Chief Edwards’ misconduct. Whitener alleged that after confronting Edwards and reporting the misconduct to the City Administrator, he was placed on administrative leave pending a psychological evaluation that was never scheduled, and subsequently terminated.
