City of Humboldt Wins Sex Discrimination Lawsuit
A discrimination suit filed against the City of Humboldt by a former police officer has been dismissed, according to the law firm representing Humboldt. In August 2008, former Humboldt police officer Melody Pierce filed suit saying she was fired because she was pregnant and that she was discriminated against because she was treated differently than male officers. The city argued Pierce was fired because she signed a warrant falsely accusing her former boyfriend of violating an order of protection.
