Larry Whithorn’s termination “derailed his career” and his family life, his attorney Anna Ovelsky said.
A former West Covina fire chief who sued the city for wrongful termination was awarded $4.1 million Friday, May 5, by a Los Angeles County jury.due to age discrimination and retaliation for reporting a hostile work environment caused by a city councilmember who “was harassing him, disparaging his name, verbally assaulting him and campaigning to get rid of him,” according to the suit.“Mr. Whithorn is feeling vindicated,” Ovelsky said following the verdict.
In a statement, West Covina City Attorney Thomas Duarte indicated the court battle may not yet be over. “We respect the judicial process and the jury’s role in it, but we also respectfully disagree with the verdict that was reached,” Duarte stated. “We intend to file post-trial motions to address certain issues with the court and will appeal this matter if necessary.”
