Ex mission director wins case in wrongful termination and wrongful arrest
Former Butte Rescue Mission director Rocky Lyons, who prevailed in a wrongful termination suit in August, also won $12,500 in damages from Jefferson County for a false arrest. A dispatcher’s mistaken theft warrant led to Lyons being cuffed at her Whitehall home on June 3, 2021, and taken to Boulder jail, ending three years of litigation tied to her tenure and firing.
