Veteran sues NC sheriff over firing linked to service injuries
A former deputy and combat veteran, Geoffrey Turner, filed a 33 page federal lawsuit in Asheville alleging Sheriff Charlie McDonald illegally fired him in 2015 for hearing loss and PTSD from military service. The suit cites persistent harassment tied to his disability and service history, and notes Turner's prior Army National Guard service in Afghanistan and Iraq.
