Ex-West Frankfort officer sues pension board to reinstate benefits
A former West Frankfort police officer Jess Webb filed suit in Franklin County Circuit Court on May 10 seeking reinstatement of temporary disability pension payments halted May 1. The suit claims the pension board erred after three doctors supported Webb's injury while lifting a person from an ambulance, while a Carbondale exam reportedly contradicted those findings. Webb’s monthly temporary pension totaled 300 dollars, half his salary, and has been paid about a year prior to the board’s decision.
