Terry King
ALPENA — Alpena County has agreed to pay former undersheriff Terry King $125,000 to settle a 16-month-old lawsuit in which King said he was wrongfully forced out of a job, according to a copy of the agreement obtained by The News.
The county is responsible for $25,000. Its insurance company will cover the balance.
In exchange for the payment, King said he will never seek employment with the county again. The deal does not forbid King from running for office.
King could not be reached for comment on this story.
The agreement acquits the county and Alpena County Sheriff Steve Kieliszewski of any wrongdoing and says neither party shall be deemed a prevailing party.
