A Campbell County Sheriff’s Deputy (CCSD) recently praised for his professionalism and commitment was terminated on Friday.

Darrell Mongar, an 11-year veteran of the CCSD, was called into Sheriff Gary Perkin’s office just before noon. Once in the office, Mongar said Perkins relieved him of his duties citing he had not been loyal as a reason for the termination.

In April Mongar had filed a $300,000 lawsuit asking he be awarded those damages because of injuries he sustained while employed at the CCSD.

Most people think of cash as a material object.

But Shonda L. Bullock, 31, of 212 North Tennessee Avenue, used the word in the action sense when she allegedly cashed four checks that didn’t belong to her.

Avoiding four outstanding warrants for over a year, Bullock was arrested on July 15 for violation of probation in neighboring Claiborne County. Once arrested she was served with her pending LaFollette warrants dating back to 2008 and shortly after was transferred to Campbell County jail.
