Office tension and alleged firing tied to wrongdoings
June 1985 claims describe Perry and Ricky Coleman frequently absent from the data processing office amid friction. Perry allegedly spied on Holden and Coleman, took notes, and unpaid department bills including the telephone bill. Rae’s deposition says Perry was more experienced and Rae trusted Perry for work questions. Fort Stockton attorney Steve Spurgin stated Perry was fired after reporting department wrongdoings, including selling computer equipment to the public. Judge Fisher’s interview tape dispute and Judge Lowry’s ruling are noted.
