Copyright © 2020 Albuquerque Journal SANTA FE – A former Santa Fe Police Department lieutenant contends in a lawsuit that she was forced into retirement after repeatedly being retaliated against by the city of Santa Fe because she reported time card fraud and evidence room violations to supervisors. Michele Williams, who retired late last year, filed a lawsuit Dec. 11 against the city of Santa Fe and Mayor Alan Webber. She accuses the city of violating the Whistleblower Protection Act by demoting her from a field lieutenant to an administrative position and a lower salary. According to the lawsuit, Williams first raised concerns in December 2018 that her supervisor, Deputy Police Chief Robert Vasquez, was claiming time worked when he was out of the office. His time cards were signed-off by Chief Andrew Padilla, so Williams reported the discrepancies to then-City Manager Erik Litzenberg.
