CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A former deputy with the Mason County Sheriff's Department says he was forced to resign because of racial prejudice.
The Associated Press reports that Eric J. Lynch of Nitro filed a wrongful termination lawsuit in Kanawha County Circuit Court.
Mason County Commission President Ricky Handley said he found it difficult to understand how someone who pleaded guilty to fraudulent use of a county credit card could say his termination was racially motivated.
Court records show Lynch was fined $2,500 by Circuit Court Judge David Nibert.
