Chicago suburb asks judge to remove "scandalous" language from lawsuit
CHICAGO (CBS) -- South suburban Flossmoor is asking a judge to remove "scandalous" and "defamatory" language from a lawsuit filed by fired Flossmoor Police Chief Jerel Jones.
Jones filed a federal civil rights lawsuit earlier in March, accusing the village of racial discrimination.
The new legal filing accuses Jones' lawsuit of labeling the village manager as "a racist implementor of a master-slave relationship."
It comes after Flossmoor's mayor announced the village was "parting ways," with Jones saying he was not meeting expectations.
