Kirby Vargas also became sick after being exposed to mold in the Asbury Park police department building, the lawsuit alleges.
An Asbury Park police officer has sued the department alleging he was racially discriminated against, subjected to a hostile work environment and transferred back to a unit he’d been promoted out of almost 15 years earlier after he missed months of work due to multiple heath problems, and later complaining about mold in the department’s headquarters.
Asbury Park officials, including police Chief David Kelso, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from NJ Advance Media. Kelso is named in the suit. Vargas’ lawyer, Theodore Campbell, said no one from the city has contacted him about the lawsuit. Asbury Park has until the end of April to respond to the lawsuit, Campbell said.
Months earlier — in October 2021 — Vargas had sent Kelso and other officials an email expressing concern about mold in police headquarters.
