The lawsuit claims Jones was 'treated more severely and held to a higher standard of performance' than the village's White and Hispanic department heads.
FLOSSMOOR, Ill. -- Former Flossmoor Police Chief Jerel Jones on Monday filed a federal civil rights lawsuit, accusing the village of racial discrimination, just days after he was ousted.On Thursday, Flossmoor Mayor Michelle Nelson said the village was 'parting ways' with Jones because of his performance, but Jones' lawsuit accuses the village of a pattern of racially discriminatory behavior.
'Village Manager Wachtel was engaging him in overbearing scrutiny, micromanagement, baseless criticism, personally attacking criticisms, and generally holding him to a standard of performance that would be unachievable by anyone,' the lawsuit states.Jones said the critiques came in a series of performance reviews issued by Wachtel. One criticism was about the way Jones spoke.
