An Essex County deputy has sued Sheriff Armando Fontoura and his department, claiming she has been discriminated against for her race, gender and for political purposes.
Shai Carr claims in court papers she has endured ongoing harassment including being banned from Democratic fundraisers, stripped of her detective title and banished to work in the basement because she is a Black woman and because her superior was jealous over her “youth and appearance,” the lawsuit claims.
