CHICKASAW, Ala. (WKRG) — WKRG News 5 has learned that former Chickasaw Police Chief Keith Miller is suing the city and the mayor.

According to reports, the lawsuit comes after Miller was terminated in a 4 to 1 vote during a city council meeting last year.

In court documents, Miller claims that his employment contract was breached when the city and mayor ignored terms and terminated him without cause.

Miller, who says there was no due process in his firing, previously told WKRG that he was given no notice about possible conduct issues, according to reports.

Last year, Chickasaw City Councilman Kendall Sterrett cast the one dissenting vote against firing Miller.

It’s still unclear what led to the city terminating Miller’s employment.

He now seeks an undisclosed amount related to lost wages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, and other relief.
