Supervisor Used GPS To Track Cop Who Complained About Corruption, Suit Claims

A township police lieutenant is suing his supervisor, the mayor and others, alleging that he was the victim of retaliation after complaining about irregularities in the officer promotions process.

Lt. Vincent Lamonica, a 25-year veteran of the department, claims in his federal suit that he complained of "corruption" in the promotional process in 2014.

He says that complaint has resulted in his current suspension and the possibility that he could lose his job.

A township official reported Monday that a tentative settlement has already been reached over the suit, which was filed last week.
