Collin County Detention Officer Derek Boyd, 23, has filed suit against the Collin County Sheriff’s office claiming discrimination and retaliation based on his sexual orientation.
Because the retaliation intensified after the lawsuit was served on Boyd’s immediate supervisor, Christopher Perepiczka, and Sheriff Terry Box, Boyd’s attorney, Kasey Krummel, has also filed a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction and a cease-and-desist order.
According to the lawsuit, on about March 19, Boyd heard two nurses who work at the county jail make discriminatory remarks about a male inmate with purple and pink hair. They allegedly said, among other comments, that the inmate should be “with the other faggots in pod D1.” The two nurses continued discussing their dislike of “faggots” in front of Boyd, the lawsuit alleges.
Boyd claims that after he told the nurses privately that their statements were offensive and inappropriate, one of them stopped making the comments, but the other called Boyd a faggot.
