Lawsuit claims Lake County Coroner blacklisted former employee who kept the office cadaver dog
Lake County Coroner Jennifer Banek is being sued by a former employee who claims she tried to sabotage his attempts to find a job after a dispute over the office's cadaver dog.
Patt and Bones began their partnership in 2018 after the office received a $15,000 grant from the D.A.S. Charitable Fund for the Preservation of Feline Animal Life, a trust that, among other things, provides law enforcement agencies with money for the care and training of dogs. Officials said Patt would keep the dog at his home and, as a salaried employee, would not incur overtime when Bones would be needed after hours.
On Nov. 30, 2020, his last day as coroner, Cooper ordered that Bones would retire and continue living with Patt, according to a document submitted with the lawsuit. Cooper had the right to make the order under the state's Police Dog Retirement Act, according to the lawsuit.
