WEST WILDWOOD – A former Class II officer in West Wildwood has filed a lawsuit claiming he was fired from his job for writing tickets to political allies of Mayor Christopher Fox, and he was directed to target residents who may not vote for the mayor in future elections, The Press of Atlantic City reports.
Jeremy Mawhinney, of Egg Harbor City, was hired by West Wildwood Police Department in June 2016 as a Class II officer, and fired in October 2017 after he was told several times by his sergeant, James Dodd, and Chief Jackie Ferentz not to write tickets to Fox’s allies, regardless of whether they were breaking the law, according to the lawsuit.
