Beaufort Co. administrator discriminated against former white male employee, lawsuit says

Article here. Excerpt:

'A lawsuit filed Friday by a former Beaufort County director accuses County Administrator Ashley Jacobs of creating a hostile work environment and discriminating against him for being an “older white male.”

The suit, filed by Eric Larson, the county’s former director of Environmental Engineering & Land Management, says Jacobs violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by discriminating against Larson’s race and age, retaliating against him and creating a hostile work environment. The suit also names Beaufort County as a defendant.

Larson’s attorney, Bonnie Hunt, said she had instructed Larson not to discuss the suit.'
