The former mayor of a small Texas town who was ousted by the City Council is now being sued by a former council member who accuses him of abusing his position...
he was aware of the lawsuit but had not read through it late Thursday afternoon. He denied abusing his office to silence Thompson and said he “had no knowledge” of the crime she was accused of until after she was taken into custody.
Thompson is seeking unspecified damages, claiming she suffered financially, emotionally, physically and reputationally as a result of the actions of city officials and McGehee.
Two other officers, also named as defendants in the lawsuit, “falsely arrested” Thompson and “detained her in a police car for several minutes in front of her fellow councilmembers and constituents with malice to embarrass and humiliate her,” Thompson’s lawyers allege.
