A sheriff’s officer who is a military veteran has filed a federal discrimination lawsuit, alleging his service in the U.S. Navy reserves contributed to him being passed over for a promotion to sergeant.
In a suit filed in federal court in Camden on Thursday, Gloucester County Sheriff’s Officer David H. Young says after returning from a two-plus year stint in the U.S. Navy reserves, he was reassigned to a less desirable unit and is earning less money because of a lack of built-in overtime.
“The county does not comment on matters of litigation; however the county does follow civil service guidelines that includes veterans’ preference,†county spokeswoman Debra Sellitto said in an email.
