Former police chief sues the city 01-07-2011

THE FORMER POLICE CHIEF OF ROLLING FORK SUES THE CITY AND SEVERAL CITY OFFICIALS. UNDRAY WILLIAMS, THE FORMER POLICE CHIEF, FILED THE LAWSUIT IN FEDERAL COURT. NOT ONLY IS HE SUING THE CITY BUT HE IS SUING ROLLING FORK'S MAYOR JAMES DENSON AND ALDERMEN CALVIN STEWART AND MARY CORBAN IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES. WILLIAMS' SUIT CLAIMS HE WAS WRONGFULLY TERMINATED AS POLICE CHIEF IN JUNE, 2010. THE FORMER CHIEF ALSO ALLEGES THAT HIS TERMINATION REPRESENTED A VIOLATION OF PUBLIC POLICY AND MALICIOUS INTERFERENCE WITH EMPLOYMENT. THE LAWSUIT STATES THAT MAYOR DENSON WAS ANGERED BECAUSE WILLIAMS OPPOSED HIM IN HIS MAYORAL ELECTION BID, AND THAT THE TWO ALDERMEN WERE ANGERED WITH THINGS THAT THE CHIEF HAD SAID TO, OR ABOUT, THEM. THE SUIT DEMANDS A TRIAL BY JURY AND SEEKS UNSPECIFIED ACTUAL, COMPENSATORY AND PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OF WHICH SAID DAMAGES WOULD BE DETERMINED BY THAT JURY.
