North Carolina sheriff sued for requiring deputies to be vaccinated
https://www.wxii12.com/amp/article/north-carolina-lawsuit-sheriff-sued-required-vaccinations/36559224DURHAM, N.C. —
A former Durham County deputy is suing Sheriff Clarence Birkhead, saying he was fired because he wouldn't comply with the sheriff's mandate that all deputies be vaccinated against COVID-19, NBC affiliate WRAL reports.
Christopher Neve wants a federal judge to declare the vaccination requirement unconstitutional and to reinstate him, with back pay and benefits.
AnnMarie Breen, the spokeswoman for the Durham County Sheriff's Office, told WRAL the agency doesn't discuss pending litigation. The agency also would not release any personnel-related information beyond employment history.
Neve said he worked for the sheriff's office for five years as a school resource officer and a patrol officer before being terminated in late March.
