Det. Sgt. Jessica Whitehead says she was punished for asking to avoid child violence investigations after the death of her stepdaughter, according to the lawsuit. Whitehead also said a complaint made to Human Resources was mishandled and she was treated differently than male employees. The lawsuit alleges the department did not abide by its own policy when investigating the undersheriff’s comments. Instead, it says, a lieutenant questioned female detectives, saying the undersheriff was angry that someone reported it.
