A lawsuit filed by four former employees of the San Bernardino County Public Defender's Office alleging harassment, retaliation and assault among other charges has been settled.
"My boss pursued me for a romantic relationship," said plaintiff Stacy Thacker during an interview with Eyewitness News in October 2021. "Every time I tried to end it, he refused.""The attempts I made to report him resulted in him attempting to run my car off the freeway," said Thacker, who also accused Gardner of assaulting her by grabbing her arm and slamming it into the console of the vehicle they were riding in when she tried to leave.
"The County has a strict, long-standing, zero-tolerance policy prohibiting harassment, retaliation, and workplace violence," said spokesperson David Wert in a prepared statement. Gage is pleased with the settlement, but doubts there have been any significant changes made to the public defender's office so far.
