Third law suit filed against Wood County Commission, Stephens - WTAP-TV

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (WTAP) - A third law suit has been filed against the Wood County Commission, Sheriff’s Department, and Steve Stephens.

The complaint was filed in Wood County Circuit Court Friday morning by Timothy Allen, a current Wood County deputy sheriff.

The law firm representing Allen is the same one representing Mark Harris and Della Matheny, the other two people suing the county and Stephens.

The suit alleges Sheriff Stephens threatened to demote Allen after learning Allen was involved in a relationship with Deputy Tasha Hewitt. Hewitt later filed a complaint against the sheriff, claiming a hostile work environment in the sheriff’s office.

Deputy Allen is seeking a jury trial to determine damages.
