A federal jury has awarded nearly $1 million in wages and damages to a former McPherson police officer who was fired after being found asleep on duty.
Jurors found the city of McPherson discriminated against Matthew B. Michaels on account of a disability of sleep apnea.
A court judgment filed Wednesday orders the city to pay $921,657 – plus interest, court costs and attorney’s fees. That amount includes back and future wages as well as damages for pain and suffering.
