Cop Placed On Leave Over Engagement Ring Dispute
A police officer who sued Chula Vista two years ago over right to compete in a beauty pageant has now been placed on paid leave in a dispute over a $17,000 engagement ring. Officer Deanna Michelle Mory’s former fiance Brian Callahan, a soldier in Iraq, alleges the ring was stolen after the couple broke up. Prosecutors declined to file theft charges, but a city hearing over the allegation is set for Aug. 29 and Mory was placed on leave.
Mory, who was named Ms. California in January 2006, sued the city after police administrators told her to stop competing in pageants.
