Breaking from R. Scott Moxley (as usual) at OC Weekly: Ex-Orange County Sheriff Lt. Bill Hunt Wins Retaliation Lawsuit.
Lead:
Former Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) Lt. Bill Hunt, who was targeted for harassment and career sabotage in 2006 by then-Sheriff Mike Carona and his goons, has won a litigation settlement of nearly $1.96 million, according to county records. Hunt–who served the city of San Clemente as its popular police chief in his OCSD role and bravely but unsuccessfully challenged Carona in an election as unfit to continue serving as sheriff after a series of embarrassing corruption scandals–must also be reinstated in the department at his former rank.
