After the explosive sex scandal inside the LaVergne police department in 2023, the city agreed to pay former police officer Maegan Hall $500,000.
LaVergne city leaders voted 4 to 1 during a special meeting Wednesday night.
The half a million dollar settlement, that 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.
