A former Metro Nashville Police Department employee was awarded $300,000 by a Davidson County jury this week after she alleged a “sexually hostile work environment” at the police department, the Nashville Post reports. The jury awarded Citlaly Gomez $450,000 in compensatory damages, but the court limited the award to $300,000, citing state law. The plaintiff is also eligible for attorney’s fees, according to the court. A Metro representative said the department is considering an appeal.
