Georgia woman says she was fired from her job at the county jail because she reported her supervisor for giving a lap dance to a deputy while she was still on duty
Sharon Cunningham, the worker who reported the incident, described what she saw to Channel 2 Action News.
“She did a little dance,” Cunningham said, snapping her fingers and shimmying. “I was in intake when it happened.”
Cunningham, who is a jail clerk, said her supervisor only got suspended for five days without pay for the “unprofessional behavior” — while she, for some reason, was given the boot.
“Why I got fired of top?” Cunningham asked. “Everybody else gets suspension.”
Cunningham claims that the supervisor, Gwenevere McCord, is dating the local sheriff and the two actually have a violent history together. McCord was reportedly shot by him four years ago in an incident that led to him being placed on probation and fined.
Jail officials told Channel 2 that Cunningham was not fired because she reported McCord. The real reason, they said, was for gossiping and making false allegations in writing, as well as lying during an investigation. She had allegedly sent an email about the incident.
“Anything and everything I put in that email wasn’t a lie,” Cunningham said.
The Clayton County woman plans to hire a lawyer and file a lawsuit.
