A former Georgia lawmaker is planning to sue Clayton County for ousting her from her position after she was filmed screaming at medics who allegedly found her passed out drunk outside of a sports bar.
Felicia Franklin announced that she is filing the suit for wrongful termination after county officials voted unanimously to dismiss her from her position as Board of Commissioners Vice Chair over the September altercation, which was recorded on police-worn body cameras, according to the Daily Mail.
Franklin — who is also running for the county chairman position — claims in the lawsuit that the “traumatic and unfortunate incident” outside the 404 Sports Bar and Gill in Morrow came after she was “drugged with a ‘date rape’ drug.”
