City of La Vergne settles lawsuit, owes Maegan Hall half a million dollars

LAVERGNE, Tenn. (WTVF) — After the explosive sex scandal inside the La Vergne police department in 2023, the city agreed to pay former police officer Maegan Hall $500,000.

La Vergne city leaders voted 3 to 1 during a special meeting Wednesday night.

The half-a-million dollar settlement, which includes no admission of guilt on the city's behalf, settles Hall's lawsuit against the city and three of her former superiors.

The La Vergne Board of Mayor and Aldermen voted tonight to authorize the mayor to sign a settlement agreement between the City of La Vergne and former police officer Maegan Hall. The agreement was negotiated between the attorney's representing the City and Hall. The City's insurance provider will pay the sum of $500,000 to Hall as a gross settlement, which includes court costs, attorneys fees, and expenses. The City denies any admission of liability, and no taxpayer funds will be spent to settle this lawsuit.

The video player is currently playing an ad. We first told you about the mess back in January of last year, after the scandal revealed a pattern of inappropriate activity inside the department.

Reports detail sex between officers on duty and on city property, intimate photos and videos shared among officers, and silence from the Police Chief, who was clued into what was happening.

"While I was aspiring to protect my community, the La Vergne police department was not protecting me," she told NewsChannel 5 in an exclusive interview early last year.

Hall and her lawyer claim it was a hostile work environment and her former supervisors groomed her.

She, along with four other officers and the police chief, were fired.

Old story, but don't see this was posted before. Meagan Hall, a fairly new policewoman, was fired along with other officers for sexual misconduct. She was involved with several senior officers, most of them black. She had two at fault accidents with her police cruiser in a few months. She had sent several officers unsolicited nude pictures of herself. The other officers sued for wrongful termination. She sued for sexual harassment. The suit claimed she was coerced into the relationships by powerful superiors and that she was intimidated by there size. She is 5'4" 130 and they were mostly over 6' 200. It also claimed they took advantage of her mental health problems. The suit was settled for $500K. I don't know if she did the Board of Alderman, the claims adjuster, the defense attorney. I can't imagine she would get much from a jury. She was and is married.

Mazing how a semi-nymphomaniac can score 500K from a town these days.

Kind of re-defines the term “first responders.”

No taxpayer funds? Where did the city get half a million?

The money comes from their insurance company.

Mental health problems, she is a typical small woman, repeated at fault collisions of her police cruiser, and sending nude pictures of herself to superiors. Then gets a sexual harassment settlement.

The taxpayers of this town should be doing something. Like telling this Board they’ll pay for their OWN decision & not dump it on them.

The real tragedy here is that all the first responders did not wind up with a petri dish full of STD’s.

They could have hired a police officer but chose DEI curtain Number 3 and got “zonked”.

And like game shows, now have all those unforeseen costs to contend with.

After being in a relatively heavy female specialty in the Navy and being a reserve police officer for several years, I can tell you that women who go into male dominated professions do so for reasons. To put it very bluntly, a large number of the women I knew and worked with were way more promiscuous than the average female. And their marital status had no bearing on their activities. This is not the first female police officer to sue after volunteering to be passed around the department. I assume it’s because they get a lot more attention working with 80% men as opposed to a office full of women.

I went to a competitive college that just had gone coed. Not sure if the girls were promiscuous, but they all wanted to date guys from wealthy or classy backgrounds. The stuff with girls and professors was really bad, and they would talk about it, sort of sexual harassment / sexual demands, probably partly because there weren’t many girls.

Then there was a womens college where you went to meet someone from a fancy mens school. Although it was a womens school, many of the girls there were loose and sexy.
