Two fired Fyffe police officers are suing the city again.
Their lawsuit claims wrongful termination. The complaint said the officers
were due a fair and impartial due process hearing, but what they got was not
fair or impartial.
An attorney for Brian Warren and Anthony Majusiak filed an amended
complaint of wrongful termination on Monday.
Last month, the officers filed suit against the mayor, claiming
she had a personal vendetta against them.
Two days later, the mayor sent letters to both officers informing
them of her intent to fire them.
Last week, a due process hearing was held in front of the city
council and the mayor, but the council never voted to keep or fire the
officers. Instead, the mayor sent a letter to the officers the next day saying
they were fired.
The attorney in the complaint stated the Supreme Court has held
that if the mayor or council member had a predetermination to uphold a
discharge before evidence was presented, that denies the officer due process.
Mayor Katy Woodall has yet to respond to the case.
No hearing date has been set.
