OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Douglas County has settled a lawsuit with a former jail administrator who says her job was cut after she reported catching her supervisor having sex with a co-worker in the office.
The County Board approved the settlement Tuesday, authorizing a payment of $19,500 to Nancy Mullenax. As outlined in the agreement, the county admits no wrongdoing in the case.
In her lawsuit, Mullenax alleges she was singled out for discipline after reporting the incident in 2009, because officials didn’t want it publicized as the jail went through accreditation. She says she was later told her job was cut due to budget constraints.
County Administrator Patrick Bloomingdale declined to comment on the settlement.
