Disabled SC Police Sergeant Sues Department After Leaving Job
A former Horry County police sergeant filed a lawsuit against the department claiming he was discriminated against due to having disabilities, ultimately causing him to leave his job.
Jack Johnson filed the lawsuit Oct. 21. Jackson has a glass eye, PTSD and a brain injury, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit says younger employees without disabilities were treated more favorably than he was and were given more favorable assignments and promotions. It also claims those without disabilities weren’t disciplined from the same issues as Johnson.
