DOUGLAS COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — A former undersheriff for the Douglas County Sheriff's Office has settled a federal lawsuit against her former employer for $1.75 million.
The settlement comes after she says she was unlawfully fired in retaliation for political differences between her and the former sheriff.
Holly Nicholson Kluth told FOX31 that no amount of money can change what happened or give her back a career that she loved. She feels justice was served and the settlement shows people she had merit in her allegations.
During Kluth's time in law enforcement, she made history as the first female undersheriff at the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
"I started as a patrolwoman in 1989 and I rose up to the ranks of undersheriff in 2014," Kluth said. “I loved the law. I love protecting people. I loved making a difference for victims, relating to the community."
