CINCINNATI (Cincinnati Enquirer) - Days before she takes office as Hamilton Countyâs new sheriff, Charmaine McGuffey has settled a lawsuit she filed against the sheriffâs office two years ago, according to our media partners at the Cincinnati Enquirer.
It was a bitter legal battle that alleged discrimination, excessive use of force and bullying and led to a political campaign that ousted the current sheriff, according to our media partners at the Cincinnati Enquirer.
