Dispute Over Perry Holden Allegations Spurs Legal Action
Perry Hammond supported a measure and a motion was tabled pending an internal probe into Perry’s reinstatement. Spurgin filed a $200,000 whistleblower suit on July 24 1985 alleging Holden misused county equipment and fired Perry. The suit later sought up to $6 million in damages under state law, with additional claims of reputational harm and punitive damages.
