Over/Under On Lawsuits
Put it at three. Assuming, of course, the N.C. Department of Correction doesn’t backtrack on its decision to fire Councilmember Warren Turner from his job as a state probation officer, which Turner’s lawyers say he will appeal.
DOC officials cited no specific reason for their decision to fire Turner, at least not for public consumption, opting for an ambiguous news release that said he was canned because Turner “did not follow directives from his chain of command, which resulted in his dismissal for unacceptable personal conduct.”
Turner’s attorney says it’s all “procedural BS,” according to this report from uptown paper of record:
“It’s several pages of things they found,” Montgomery said. “There were issues with his files, and some other issues. A number of things dated back to more than a year, and he had a good performance review since then.”
Montgomery said the DOC had decided it wanted to fire Turner and then looked for a way to do so.
Ah, the none-so-subtle veiled threat, the opening pitch for a lawsuit, unless Turner gets his badge back.
