Fired Oxford Police Officer Sues, Seeks His Job Back: Report

OXFORD, CT - Fired Oxford police officer Gary Soules has filed another lawsuit against the town seeking monetary damages and his job back, the Connecticut Law Tribune reports.

Soules, who was suspended and fired in 2014, claims he was discriminated and harassed against because of his age and disability.

Soules served three tours of active duty in Iraq and Afghanistan and suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and a knee injury, the lawsuit claims.

Soules claims he was targeted and harassed once he made complaints about the department and how it was run. He also clashed with Oxford town officials too, the lawsuit claims.

A previous lawsuit Soules filed was dismissed last year.
