Sheriff SUV deal: $52K deal amid budget crises
ST. LOUIS – While threatening to cut essential services, the Sheriff's Office made a deal for a luxury buy in silence. It's a brand-new Chevy Tahoe the St. Louis Sheriff's Office has avoided talking about. FOX 2 found it parked in the city lot on Laclede after obtaining the Sheriff's Office buyer's order saying it costs $52,773. This discovery comes after Sheriff Alfred Montgomery had threatened to stop transporting inmates to the hospital because of money problems. On Monday, Alderwoman Daniela Valazquez told the Sheriff, 'We're in a budget hearing because your department doesn't have enough money to–you're in the red.' Close Thanks for signing up! Watch for us in your inbox. Subscribe Now The Sheriff often blamed the media, at one point saying, 'We can't go by news sources. Their job is entertainment.' Alderman Michael Browning answered, 'I would argue the media's job is to inform.' Aldermen questioned the Sheriff's expenditures at the budget meeting, but they did not know at the time about the Tahoe. FOX 2 has found out the possible reasons for that. We've confirmed it was not obtained through traditional means. We've learned it never went before the capital committee to be approved as an expenditure, and we've also confirmed the Comptroller's Office has not signed off on the agreement to buy it. FOX 2 asked the Sheriff's Office about this vehicle more than a week ago when we first got the tip about it. We also made a Missouri Sunshine request for the documentation, and the office said it would answer Tuesday morning, which turned into Tuesday afternoon, but with no answer. Thursday afternoon, the office texted a statement that said in part that their '…fleet is currently eight vehicles short of its allocated need to perform basic responsibilities…' adding quote '…discretionary funds (are) established for the office under Missouri Law…' FOX 2 also learned the vehicle has yet to be paid for, while the purchase contract is dated January 25—which means that as aldermen were pressing the Sheriff for answers about expenditures—the pricey vehicle was parked in the city lot without budget leaders knowing anything about it.

Foul-mouthed chef wrongly sacked because she had anxiety, tribunal rules
A junior chef who launched a foul-mouthed rant in front of spa guests has been awarded more than £13,000 after a tribunal ruled her outburst was triggered by anxiety. Abbie Garner was dismissed after she was overheard shouting 'you f---ing made me love you then you cheated on me, you c---' at a colleague. However, a tribunal ruled the outburst was linked to her health problems, which included anxiety and depression. She has since been awarded £13,455.91. Of the sum, £11,000 was paid to reflect 'the injury to the claimant's feelings as a result of the discrimination found'. The row broke out in front of guests near the spa reception at the four-star Thorpe Hall Hotel and Spa in Peterborough on Aug 9, 2023. It was sparked by a personal argument with a fellow chef she had been in a relationship with, the tribunal heard. Complaints were made to reception and the chef was called in for a disciplinary hearing. During the hearing, Ms Garner gave abrupt responses and asked whether her ex-partner would also be punished. Notes from the hearing recorded her saying: 'I have apologised. What else do you want?' The tribunal ruled that she was disabled under the Equality Act and said her inability to control her anger 'arose in consequence of her disability'. It said: 'The claimant is disabled by virtue of anxiety, depression, and polycystic ovary syndrome. 'The claimant relies on her conduct on August 9, the incident, and August 18, her abrupt responses in the disciplinary meeting, as things arising from her disability. 'Namely an inability to regulate her mood or control her anger due to her disabilities.' It added that Ms Garner 'was put at a substantial disadvantage compared to someone without her disability'. Judge C Lewis concluded the hotel failed in its duty to make reasonable adjustments by not seeking medical evidence before dismissing her. 'We are satisfied that it would have been a reasonable adjustment for the respondent to have sought medical evidence,' the tribunal said. 'We find that there was a reasonable prospect this could have led to a different outcome.' The judge found her 'continued employment posed a risk to the respondent's reputation', but said this did not justify failing to properly consider whether her conduct was linked to her mental health.
