Katrina Harper, a former Caldwell County jailer, filed a federal lawsuit in Austin's U.S. District Court against her former employer.  

In May 2009, Harper says she was working the night shift when she witnessed two of the county jail employees engaging in sexual activities.  Harper immediately went to her supervisor and told them what she had seen.  Harper was sent home early that day and two days later was written up for reporting what her supervisor's believed the be a false incident.  She was later demoted to officer from her position as corporal.  

Just months later, Harper received a letter from her employer asking her to disclose information about her ADD disorder.  After sending in the appropriate documentation, Harper was terminated a day later for supposedly not disclosing her medical history in her employment application.  Harper believes that the County is using her medical disability as an excuse to cover up their discrimination.
