Assistant sheriff Monaghan returns to old job under new sheriff
"According to a report by an outside law firm, Monaghan was approached on Sept. 17, 2024 by Sheriff Corpus' right-hand-man, Victor Aenlle, who wanted to know if Monaghan had been interviewed by retired judge LaDoris Cordell, who was investigating the sheriff's office. When Monaghan confirmed he was interviewed, Aenlle asked, "When were you going to tell us this?" Two days later, Corpus fired Monaghan."
"However, County Manager Mike Callagy decided to keep Monaghan on the payroll over concerns that he would have grounds to sue the county for wrongful termination. District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe decided to put Callagy in charge of an anti-human trafficking unit until Corpus left. Then Monaghan could return to the sheriff's office. Still, Monaghan filed a $5 million claim against the county over his firing."
Monaghan was fired by Sheriff Christina Corpus two days after her aide Victor Aenlle learned Monaghan had been interviewed by retired judge LaDoris Cordell. County Manager Mike Callagy kept Monaghan on the payroll due to concerns he could sue for wrongful termination, and District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe assigned Callagy to an anti-human trafficking unit until Corpus left so Monaghan could return. Monaghan filed a $5 million claim against the county over his firing. Sheriff Bob Binder appointed Monaghan assistant sheriff to oversee patrol bureaus, hiring, training and internal affairs. Binder also brought back Undersheriff Chris Hsiung and seeks additional assistant sheriffs, including one to supervise the jails.
