Ex-jail guard sues Napa County, saying co-workers harassed him into depression
A former Napa County jailhouse guard says in a lawsuit that he was driven off his job and wound up in a mental hospital, by vicious antigay harassment from co-workers and supervisors.
Dante Michelucci, 41, a correctional officer with the county from 2007 until April, is a heterosexual man who lives with his wife in nearby Sonoma County, his lawyer said. But he said Michelucci’s colleagues, for the last year of his employment, apparently decided he was gay and started calling him derogatory names, hanging pictures on his locker and asking him how much oral sex he had engaged in that day.
