A federal court determined that Panola County Sheriff Shane Phelps did not unlawfully exclude a former Panola County deputy from a list of potential hires when he took office. Harold Lewis, who served as a deputy in Panola County from 2014 to 2019, had appealed the Fifth Circuit’s District Court decision to reject his First Amendment retaliation claim. Lewis alleged he was not hired by Phelps as a deputy sheriff because he made public statements supporting Dennis Darby, a political opponent of Phelps, and sheriff when Lewis was hired.
