The ex-Tellico Plains Chief of Police's wife, Marie Anne Isbell, filed a federal lawsuit: includes Monroe County, and the newly appointed EMS Director Randy White as defendants.
The plaintiff (Isbell), alleges she was not re-hired by Monroe County EMS after the new EMS Director was appointed,....in part because her husband (Bill Isbell), did not support Randy White for Sheriff in the general election last year. Bill Isbell was investigated in a missing money probe by the TN State Comptroller... https://monroecountytn.blogspot.com/2012/01/former-chief-of-police-bill-isbell.html
The lawsuit does not state any specific monetary amount--although it seeks compensation due to lost wages, pain, suffering, humiliation, and embarrassment.
