A female former police officer who sued the department she worked for after being fired for her involvement in a departmental sex scandal has settled the lawsuit for a half million dollars.
Megan Hall, who was terminated along with four other officers after she had sex with them on the job and then all lied about it, agreed to the settlement in February, according to the signed released.
The chief of police was also fired after news of the scandal broke in January of 2023.
The mayor of the City of La Vergne, Tennessee, where she had been employed, signed the release Wednesday.
“The La Vergne Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted tonight to authorize the mayor to sign a settlement agreement between the City of La Vergne and former police officer Maegan Hall,” the city said in a statement cited by WTVF. “The agreement was negotiated between the attorney’s representing the City and Hall.
“The City’s insurance provider will pay the sum of $500,000 to Hall as a gross settlement, which includes court costs, attorneys fees, and expenses,” the statement added. “The City denies any admission of liability, and no taxpayer funds will be spent to settle this lawsuit.”
City leaders voted 3-to-1 in favor of signing the release at a special meeting Wednesday, with the lone dissenter questioning what other La Vergne city employees what do in response to news of Hall’s windfall.
“What message does that send to all the other employees?” Alderman Dennis Waldron asked. “It’s sending a message out to everybody in the world [that says] come to La Vergne, sue La Vergne because they’re going to settle.”
