WATERTOWN â Nearly one year after a Watertown womanâs first lawsuit was dismissed, a federal lawsuit has been filed seeking damages for what she alleges was an unlawful arrest nearly four years ago.
DeAnna LeTray, through the New York Civil Liberties Union, filed suit Monday in U.S. District Court, Syracuse, against Jefferson County; the city of Watertown; Jefferson County Sheriff Colleen OâNeill; Watertown police officers George Cummings, Samuel White and Virginia Kelly; Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building Administrator Kristopher M. Spencer; county corrections officer Joel Dettmer; Watertown Police Chief Charles P. Donoghue; and four John Does.
Ms. LeTray, a 54-year-old transgender woman, first filed suit in state Supreme Court in Jefferson County more than two years ago seeking to have the state Division of Human Rights investigate her alleged claims of unlawful treatment by Watertown police at the public safety building.
