A former Georgia lawmaker is planning to sue Clayton County for ousting her from her position after she was filmed screaming at medics who allegedly found her passed out drunk outside of a sports bar. Felicia Franklin announced that she is filing the suit for wrongful termination after county officials voted unanimously to dismiss her from her position as Board of Commissioners Vice Chair over the September altercation, which was recorded on police-worn body cameras, according to the Daily Mail. Franklin — who is also running for the county chairman position — claims in the lawsuit that the “traumatic and unfortunate incident” outside the 404 Sports Bar and Gill in Morrow came after she was “drugged with a ‘date rape’ drug.” The suit claims her “evening took a turn for the worse” and she was found “crying and clearly in a vulnerable position” when police arrived on the scene. But Sgt. Scott Stewart from the Morrow Police Department said: “We have found no evidence to support that she was in fact drugged with GHB.” He said officers have reviewed security footage showing Franklin walking alone into the sports bar and ordering several drinks. “She had probably three and a half, four drinks, then a swig of beer,” Stewart told Fox 5. Police claim the footage shows Franklin had three “That’s a home run” drinks, which contain 40-proof Hennessy and Grand Mariner, followed by a glass of wine and a swig of someone else’s beer.
