The move comes months after the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agreed to pay $25,000 to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by a former employee against the bureau and its deputy director. "Everyone deserves a workplace free from intimidation and hostility," Bryant said on his Facebook page. "I will not tolerate sexual harassment in those agencies that fall under my control."
