A Prince George's County judge Friday ordered Sheriff Michael Jackson to remove a reprimand given to the sheriff's union president for speaking out about alleged embezzlement within the union from former union leaders.
In a civil case filed against Jackson, the sheriff's office and Assistant Chief Sheriff Paul Drula, union president Robert Cease alleged he has been threatened with reprimands and termination for publicizing an audit that resulted in the indictment of two former union leaders who are high-ranking members of the sheriff's agency.
Circuit Court Judge William Cave ordered the sheriff's office to remove a reprimand Cease received from the office after he began speaking out about the audit findings.
