Georgia lawmaker found allegedly passed out drunk in street is suing county for firing her

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 Grill 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.

But Sgt. Scott Stewart of the Morrow Police Department said, “We have found no evidence to support that she was in fact drugged with GHB.” *** In the aftermath, another video of Franklin being questioned by the police shows cops confronting her with receipts proving she had more drinks than she initially claimed.

“I didn’t have five drinks … I had five drinks? I don’t remember having five drinks,” she said in response, claiming the other drinks listed were for other people. ***

Doubt they ran a blood alcohol test on her as well as tested her for anything else, if they had found a date, rape drug that would’ve shown up on the toxicology screen. I saw that video she was flat out drop through there’s no telling how much she had to drink and I’m betting it was 10 to 15 drinks.

Saw a YouTube on this one. She had pissed herself and went psycho crazy in the ambulance sent to cart her away. Definitely a DemoPsychoCrat resume enhancer.

“Georgia lawmaker”

I’d also like a list of all the laws she ever wrote or even contributed to in the least.

And she never even said "Black Lives Matter, you white trash?"

She was later filmed in the ambulance, drunkenly hitting
an EMT, and cursing a cop to "get the f*** out of my face."
