BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — Boise, Idaho (CBS2) - The City of Boise announced it has settled a whistleblower lawsuit with a current Boise Police Officer in the amount of $375,000.
The City says Officer Norman Carter filed the lawsuit against the City and former Chief of Police William Bones. Officer Carter has been a police officer with BPD for 26 years.
In a release from the City, the lawsuit claimed retaliation following a report of a law or policy violation by another member of Boise Police Department.
Carter claimed in the lawsuit that he was deprived of overtime and other opportunities because he complained to superiors about a fellow officer purportedly selling gear and other equipment out of his Boise Police Department office. The city denies that Carter was retaliated against.
The city says the settlement was reached after both parties evaluated the merits of the case and the resources required for further litigation.
