Devon Wenger, a former police officer in Antioch, has initiated a lawsuit against his department, alleging retaliation and harassment from superiors that caused him emotional distress and led to pending criminal charges. The lawsuit coincided with his ongoing trial for conspiracy and civil rights violations, which ended in a mistrial. Wenger argues that the charges against him stem from his whistleblowing on misconduct within the department. The conflict with a former lieutenant further underscores his claims of retaliation related to internal investigations and discrimination.
Wenger's lawsuit claims retaliation and harassment from department officials, connecting pending criminal charges to his vocal opposition against misconduct within the Antioch Police Department.
The lawsuit was filed just before Wenger's trial on conspiracy charges was set to begin, highlighting the timing and underlying tensions between him and department higher-ups.
