Part 2 | The Infamous Exploits of Police Officer Maegan Hall

WEBVTT

1
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:23.359
In January of twenty twenty three,
an internal affairs investigation revealed that Tennessee police

2
00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:30.920
officer Megan Hall had engaged in sexual
misconduct with seven of her fellow officers at

3
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:39.200
the Laverne Police Department. She later
filed a lawsuit against her former department,

4
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.840
and in it, she claimed that
the department's all male ranks made her feel

5
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:50.759
trapped and exploited, claiming that her
superiors and even the chief of police groomed

6
00:00:50.759 --> 00:01:00.399
her. In this series, I
uncovered the investigation, dissect the actual interviews

7
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:07.040
of those involved, and dive into
the scandalous files of the lawsuit claims made

8
00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:17.959
by Megan herself. Welcome to exposed
scandalous files of the elite, the infamous

9
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:36.879
exploits of police Officer Megan Hall.
And we're going to pick up right where

10
00:01:37.239 --> 00:01:41.920
we left off. And if you
haven't listened to part one, go back

11
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:44.920
and listen to it so you can
catch up with us. I don't spend

12
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.120
a whole lot of time at the
start of these episodes with small talk.

13
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.239
We just kind of jump right into
it. And the last time we left

14
00:01:52.280 --> 00:02:00.719
you, Human Resource Director Patten was
conducting his investigation on December sixteenth, of

15
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:07.000
twenty twenty two, Meghan Hall sat
down with Director Patten and he had Human

16
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:15.560
Resource Leader Leah Presley also in that
office. During the conversation, Patten received

17
00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:23.240
confirmation that Hall was involved in a
sexual relationship with Holiday. Those encounters happened

18
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:28.879
off shift, that was according to
Hall, and happened at his house and

19
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:35.400
hotels. Now, Meghan denied having
any sexual relationship with Powell at that time.

20
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:37.960
And look, y'all, I know
there's a lot of names in here,

21
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.639
with seven different dudes. I'm trying
to keep myself straight in you straight

22
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:45.319
with all these names, but these
are all officers. So she denies that

23
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:50.680
sexual relationship with Powell at that time, and she actually denied having any sexual

24
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:58.280
relationship with Magloso. She also denied
having any interest or participating in any threesome

25
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:04.240
conversation. So all stuff that I
told you in part one, she's denying

26
00:03:04.360 --> 00:03:09.080
all that to the Human Resource director. Now, Hall did confirm the hot

27
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:16.680
tub party information and confirmed that she
was heavily drinking and that her bikini top

28
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:23.039
came off in the hot tub and
that STATS had helped her put it back

29
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:29.000
on, So she confirmed that story. She did confirm falling downstairs on a

30
00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:36.560
houseboat. She confirmed sending nude images
to other officers and she named them.

31
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:43.360
She said she sent them to Holiday
Magleoso and an officer Shubral. She did

32
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:50.280
deny sending any nude images to Sergeant
McGowan. So she leaves that meeting and

33
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:55.240
three days later, on December nineteenth
of twenty twenty two, she calls Director

34
00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:00.159
Patten and she says that she wants
to come clean on something. And in

35
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:05.479
that conversation, Hall tells Patten that
she had not been honest on one part

36
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:11.639
of the investigation, and she confirmed
that she did have a sexual relationship with

37
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:16.040
Maglioso. Hall said it happened three
or four times, but never on duty.

38
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:24.920
Hall also said she did not like
to lie and wanted to tell Patten

39
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:30.680
that information. Hall also confirmed that
she and Magloso had discussed having a threesome

40
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:36.600
with Magalioso's wife. However, nothing
ever happened in that situation. So Patten

41
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:42.720
takes this information he kind of digested, and then he calls Hall in for

42
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:47.040
a second interview on December twenty first
of twenty twenty two. He asked her

43
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:55.839
to confirm information that he had already
received from other officers about this whole situation.

44
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.560
He wants her confirmation of what they're
saying, and that she and Maglioso

45
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:06.040
did go into a restroom on a
houseboat and had sex. She also confirmed

46
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:12.399
that she went to the top of
the hill with maglio So and gave him

47
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:17.319
a blowjob. Haul confirmed that she
gave a blowjob to Sergeant Powell while on

48
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:25.040
duty at the police substation. She
also confirmed she had sex with Lugo at

49
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:30.319
a hotel in Murphy'sburg, Tennessee,
uh and when he asked her how long

50
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:34.240
ago was at she said two or
three months ago. She said she met

51
00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:41.439
him at a go Court, USA
center and they rode together to a hotel

52
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:46.519
and had sex. She said that
Powell told her that he and McGowan had

53
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:53.920
met and talked, and Powell told
her that McGowan had denied everything, and

54
00:05:54.079 --> 00:06:00.079
McGowan told pal he denied any sexual
involvement as well. So so Hall said,

55
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:08.600
you know they're lying. I had
sex twice with McGowan, and actually

56
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:14.360
about three weeks ago I had sex
with him at his house. She also

57
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:18.680
told Paton that she and McGowan have
been close really since she started at the

58
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:27.600
department and one time he told her
to use me if she ever wanted to

59
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:32.480
have sex. Hall confirmed that she
and McGowan would send nudes back and forth.

60
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:38.199
So now we moved to Jan Lugo, who have mentioned a couple times

61
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:43.639
throughout this podcast and hadn't got really
into his involvement in this case until right

62
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.600
now. And on December nineteenth of
twenty twenty two, and y'all, I

63
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:51.439
know I'm bouncing back and forth,
but they I'm going through files and these

64
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:55.920
are the way that these files are
laid out, and there's a reason for

65
00:06:55.959 --> 00:07:00.519
that that you'll understand in the end. But he meets with one Lugo on

66
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:06.639
December nineteenth of twenty twenty two,
and guess what, Officer Lugo did not

67
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:12.560
show up for that meeting. So
he set it up. But Lugo didn't

68
00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.759
show up, and he did not
notify anybody that he was not planning on

69
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:21.399
attendant. He just didn't show up. Now, Lugo told Ambert Dixon,

70
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:30.959
who is basically Chief the Chief of
Police's administrative assistant, that he had childcare

71
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.040
issues. So they said, okay, well reschedule the meeting. So they

72
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:39.399
reschedule it for the twentieth, which
was the very next day, and Lugo

73
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:45.759
did meet with Patten in the Human
Resource Office in Chief Davis was along for

74
00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:50.000
that meeting, as he was for
all meetings, and Lugo signs his notification

75
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:56.120
of rights, etc. And he
shares with Patten that he hangs out a

76
00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:03.120
lot with officers Magleoso, Showbert and
light Tick and some man. Some of

77
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:09.279
these guys got some bizarre names,
lied Tick, it's spelled led Tke.

78
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:15.879
I'm probably mispronouncing it. Sorry about
that. But Lugo tells Patten that if

79
00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:22.120
there's a female present with drinking,
he has to obtain permission from his wife

80
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:28.439
to attend. Lugo told Patten he
is aware of intimate relationships on the second

81
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:33.360
shift, but nobody wants to say
who it is. Patten presses Lugo several

82
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:39.320
times for names, and Lugo said
he didn't know any names. Lugo was

83
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:45.000
asked if he received any nude images
of other officers, and he told Patten

84
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:52.759
no. Patten told Lugo that he
was aware that he had received a nude

85
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:58.480
image and went to Magloso because Lugo
was concerned about getting it. Remember we

86
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:03.720
told you that Lugo confirmed he got
a newt of Hall through snapchat, so

87
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.799
he just got busted line. Lugo
confirmed he went to Maglioso and told him

88
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:13.320
he received it because he had never
gotten anything like that before. Chief Davis

89
00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:18.639
asked Lugo if he had ever sent
a dick pick to anybody, and Lugo

90
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:24.240
says, yes, I did send
a dick pick to Hall. Lugo said

91
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:30.200
Hall asked him if he would be
down for a quickie. Lugo says he

92
00:09:30.399 --> 00:09:35.480
denied the invitation, and Patton revisited
the question of who on second shift was

93
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:41.279
having sexual relationships, and Lugo said
he didn't know, so he's he's not

94
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:46.000
going to sell out his boys right. In a second interview on the twenty

95
00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:50.639
second, so just a couple of
days after that, Lugo was reminded by

96
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:56.360
Patten that he signed a you know, basically a promise to tell the truth.

97
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.399
And he was asked by the chief
if he had any questions, and

98
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:05.320
he says no, I understand everything. And then Patten tells Lugo that he

99
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.320
knew he had lied during the first
interview and asked Lugo if he had sex

100
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.799
with Hall. Lugo says no again
and Patton asked Lugo if he ever met

101
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.200
up with Hall, and he shared
a story about a group hangout, y'all

102
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:24.240
where he thought she might have been
there, but he couldn't remember. So

103
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:30.720
Patten tells Lugo he knew about the
Go Court USA meet up and the fact

104
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:35.919
that they went to a hotel room
to have sex. Remember, Hall told

105
00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:41.639
Patten that already. Why would she
lie about that, right? And Lugo

106
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.320
looks at him and he knows he's
busted, right, and he says,

107
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.720
well, that was only one time. And if Patten tells Lugo to tell

108
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.840
him who else had sex with Hall? Lugo said he knew that Pile and

109
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.840
Hall had been together. That's the
only thing he knew. So they were,

110
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:05.120
and put him on administrative leave with
pay pending the outcome of the investigation.

111
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.600
Y'all. There's hardly any cops left
on the second shift. Everybody is

112
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.919
getting released and placed on administrative leave. It's crazy. If you're going to

113
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:18.879
commit a crime in that part of
Tennessee, that would be the the scandal

114
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:24.039
in whence should do it right?
Because there's they had to be shorthanded.

115
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:31.679
So Patten speaks with Seneca Shields on
December twenty seventh, just a few days

116
00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:37.240
after that, and of course he's
asked to sign that notification of rights,

117
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:45.480
and Shields was asked if he knew
why he was being asked to talk to

118
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:48.320
Patton. Patten asked him this,
and Shields said that he assumed it had

119
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:52.399
to do with the issues around Officer
Hall. He knew right off the bat,

120
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:58.480
and Patten asked Shields who he had
knowledge about that was intimate with Hall.

121
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:03.639
Shields denies. He says, man, I'm not going to put any

122
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:07.759
names out there, and so Patten
presses him a second time, a third

123
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:13.879
time, and he still declines to
provide any names. And Patten asked Shields

124
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:18.320
why his name was being told as
someone who was involved sexually with all,

125
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:24.720
and Shields like freaks out and he
says, I have never had sex with

126
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:30.879
Megan Hall. So Patten rephrased the
question and asks, Okay, maybe you

127
00:12:30.919 --> 00:12:35.639
didn't have sex with her, but
have you ever been intimate with her in

128
00:12:35.679 --> 00:12:41.679
any way, shape or form,
and Shields confirms that Hall had given him

129
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.600
a blowjob in the police gym behind
the police station. Shields told Patten that

130
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:52.759
he was on duty at the time, and went back to his desk after

131
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:58.399
she sucked him off and finished his
day. And he did confirm also that

132
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:05.799
he had he and Hall had been
sexting a lot and flirting for some time,

133
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:11.159
and he confirms that they had both
sent that he had sent news to

134
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:16.399
her and she had sent nudes to
him via text several times. So that's

135
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.600
what Seneca Shields had to say.
And I also gave you another name by

136
00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.240
the name of Gavin Showbro. So
on December nineteenth of twenty twenty two,

137
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.519
he gets called into the office signs
that notification of rights and Patten asked him

138
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:37.039
about the second shift post hangouts and
just wanted to know what they do when

139
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:43.120
they hang out, and Schrobel says
it's normally him, Lugo, Hall Maglioso,

140
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.519
and Lyedtick. And he also confirms
that you know, they pretty much

141
00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:54.360
get ship faced at these gatherings.
He said he didn't have any knowledge of

142
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:58.039
a hot tub party, and Patten
asked him if he had ever received nudes

143
00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.879
on his cell phone from Hall,
and he says, yes, he had

144
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:09.360
me She's She's something, huh.
He also said about one or two months

145
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:16.600
prior to him meeting with Patten that
Hall had offered to send him a nude

146
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:22.759
photo of herself, and he also
told Patten that while on duty, he

147
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.240
and Lugo and Hall were in a
circle behind the police department just talking.

148
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:35.240
But it was a lot of joking
about sexual things, and the subject came

149
00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:39.879
up to penis sizes, and Shobel
confirmed he showed the group a photo of

150
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:46.720
his penis. Lugo showed a photo
of his penis as well, and Shroubel

151
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:52.039
asked Hall to snapchat him a photo
of her and Schroubel. He actually said

152
00:14:52.120 --> 00:15:00.440
he received a video from Hall on
Snapchat and that Hall told him I don't

153
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:05.320
tell anybody I sent you this video. So Paton gets all of this information,

154
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:11.960
he kind of concludes his investigation of
the case. He starts making his

155
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:16.840
recommendations of what to do with these
people. Right, so Paton recommends that

156
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:24.080
Halby terminated and he lists the reasons
as violations of Employee Handbook regarding sexual activity

157
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.559
while on duty, sexual harassment,
conduct becoming of an officer, and lying

158
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:35.399
during the course of an investigation.
He also recommends the termination of mcgallan,

159
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:43.840
and he lists that as workplace violence, sexual harassment, conduct unbecoming of an

160
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:50.720
officer, lying during the course of
an investigation, so pretty much the same

161
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:58.960
charges there. He recommends the termination
of Powell for having sex on duty conduct

162
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:03.559
i'm becoming an office are in line
during the course of an investigation. He

163
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:11.440
recommends the termination of unemployment for Shields, and he lists sexual activity while on

164
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:18.519
duty, sexual harassment, and conduct
unbecoming of an officer. He recommends the

165
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:30.159
termination of employment for Logo and he
lists sexual unreported of intimate relationships, sexual

166
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:37.559
harassment, lying during the course of
an investigation, in conduct unbecoming. Now

167
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:45.519
for Maglioso, and this was interesting, he recommended a suspension, not termination,

168
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.000
and that kind of confused me because
it seems like Maglaoso was the one

169
00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:56.159
she was kind of into the most, But I think that it was primarily

170
00:16:56.200 --> 00:17:06.119
because none of that sex took on
duty with Magleoso. What he basically listed

171
00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:11.400
were the reasons was unreported sexual activity, intimate relationship with a coworker, in

172
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:18.440
sexual harassment, and he also put
Magleoso will also be removed from second shift

173
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:25.359
patrol and away from the officer group
that was involved in the investigation holiday same

174
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:33.079
thing, eighty hour suspension. He
listed the violations of unreported sexual activity,

175
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:40.720
intimate relationship with a co worker in
sexual harassment. Holiday will also be removed

176
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:47.680
from second shift and away from the
officer group that was involved in the investigation.

177
00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:56.039
And he also recommended only a forty
hour unpaid suspension for Struggle. So

178
00:17:56.160 --> 00:18:00.839
of all the people that he recommended
to either be fired or suspended, Shrugble

179
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:06.960
got the lightest sentence. I guess
you could say. Basically, he got

180
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:12.240
a week off without pay, and
it was based on some violations including unreported

181
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:19.480
sexual harassment and conduct unbecoming. Struggle, if you'll remember, was the one

182
00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:27.000
who confessed to showing photos of his
penis to Haul and a mail officer,

183
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:37.240
and also requesting and receiving that snapchat
from Hall. So Paton takes all of

184
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:42.079
that and he turns it in to
the mayor, and the mayor then approves

185
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:49.319
all of those recommendations for both the
terminations and suspensions, and that takes place

186
00:18:49.599 --> 00:18:57.359
on December twenty ninth of twenty twenty
two. So what happens. All these

187
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:07.640
officers get suspended and or terminated,
and Megan Hall, you know, whether

188
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:15.599
you whether deserved or undeserved, she
gets mortified. Right her shit is all

189
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:21.720
over the internet. I mean,
everybody, everybody is talking about it.

190
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:27.960
She becomes the victim of Meme City. You know, she's like the mayor

191
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:33.400
of Mean City. After this TikTok
exploded when people got a hope to this

192
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:38.119
information. Throughout this we've mentioned,
you know, Megan Hall was married,

193
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:45.559
and you may be saying her poor
husband, like how mortified is he and

194
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.960
what happened with him? What did
he do? Because it was a parent

195
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:56.960
look reading over all of this and
listening to Megan Hall, and I'm gonna

196
00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.160
let you listen to her. I've
got several clips on a play of her

197
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:04.920
side of this, but listening to
her, she you know, there's no

198
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:08.160
doubt she was down with this stuff, and it seemed like she was trying

199
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:14.200
to get her husband involved. Remember
she took all her clothes off with I

200
00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.119
think it was Magleoso's wife. Heck, she did it with so many,

201
00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:22.240
but I think that's who it was. And her husband got pissed. That

202
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:26.319
happened several occasions, right, and
so it didn't seem like he was down

203
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:33.759
with the get down, as they
say. And so here's what he had

204
00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.519
to say. He actually came out
in an interview and I'm going to read

205
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:41.960
you the article of his response to
all this. This articles from the New

206
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:47.640
York Post. The husband of the
Tennessee police officer fired for having sex with

207
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:52.559
her coworkers is standing by his wife. I don't know how he's doing it.

208
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.000
He's more of a man than I
am, but he's trying to savage

209
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:02.119
his marriage. That from Jedhall's boss, called Offe County Sheriff Chad Parton.

210
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:08.400
Jed's wife, Officer Meghanhall of Laverne, Tennessee's police department, was fired after

211
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:15.240
allegations emerged she engaged in sex with
co workers, sent them new pictures,

212
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.319
took off her top at a Girls
Gone Wild themed hunt tub party, and

213
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:25.519
performed oral sex on two fellow officers
while on duty. The hanky panky also

214
00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:30.000
led to the firings of Sergeant Lewis
Powell, Officer Juan Lugo, Sergeant Tymagowan,

215
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:37.359
and Detective Seneca Shields. Officers Patrick
Maglioso and Larry Holliday, who also

216
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:41.799
had romps with Meghanhall, stayed on
the forest but were suspended. Meghan Hall

217
00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:47.559
had told her co workers she was
in an open marriage, investigator said one

218
00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.640
of her co workers. Hover said
that Jed, who is the son of

219
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:56.759
a pastor, was not on board. Parton said. The former park ranger

220
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.799
had been training for a job with
the Tennessee Highway Patrol, but pulled out

221
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:07.279
after the allegations of his wife became
public. He has since become a deputy

222
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:11.960
in Coffee County. How you like
that, y'all? So he is now

223
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:17.640
a police officer in another county.
I don't know how he does it.

224
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.160
I have offered an extended to him
any resources he needs. In all he

225
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.759
says is sheriff. I just want
to work for the citizens of Coffee County.

226
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:33.759
I love what I'm doing. That
from his sheriff. I don't condone

227
00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:37.960
what went on at the Laverne Police
Department, but he sure hasn't broken any

228
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:42.039
laws. He's the victim here.
There's not a blemish on his record,

229
00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:48.880
and he's doing phenomenal work. That
from the sheriff. Also, according to

230
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:55.480
the internal investigative report by the Laverne
Police Department, MacLeish said Jeedhall had become

231
00:22:55.720 --> 00:23:00.759
upset at a party when Meghan began
kissing his wife. Jed really wasn't on

232
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:07.720
board with his wife having a threesome, Magleoso said, Magleoso also expressed concern

233
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:12.079
for Meganhall's mental health, claiming she
had been prone to heavy drinking. He

234
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:17.319
said she had once pointing an empty
gun in her head and pulled the trigger

235
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:25.640
just so she could hear what it
sounded like. So he chose to stand

236
00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:34.519
by his wife. Y'all, wow, I mean that's love. I guess

237
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:37.599
you know, if you're going to
be able to put up with all that.

238
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:44.319
But what you think probably happened did
happen? As I told you.

239
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:51.119
She is just absolutely hammered and humiliated
on social media over all of this,

240
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:55.079
and a lot of people would say
you deservingly, So you know, it's

241
00:23:55.079 --> 00:24:00.000
hard to feel sorry for somebody that
was doing all of that. But what

242
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:04.160
do we say? There's two sides, Actually, there's three sides to every

243
00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:10.960
story, and the truth lies somewhere
in between. And Meghan Hall does have

244
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.640
a side, and look, due
to all of the humiliation and look,

245
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:21.160
she also claims she was pressured into
a lot of this, and well,

246
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:26.519
we're going to get into her claims
because she filed a lawsuit in the United

247
00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:34.160
States District Court of Tennessee at Nashville, and she sued the city of Laverne,

248
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:41.160
Tennessee, Burrell chip Davis, who
is the chief of police of that

249
00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:49.480
county, Lewis Powell, and Henry
ty McGowan, so she sued them in

250
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:53.599
civil court. So before we get
into all that, I've got a couple

251
00:24:53.599 --> 00:25:00.519
of things I'm gonna play for you, and the first is going to be

252
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:08.759
Meghan Hall her actual interviews and these
are just pieces of her interview with HR

253
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:14.119
Director Patten. And these took place. Remember, Hall got called in several

254
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:18.599
times. So one of these interviews
it sounds like they're at a restaurant or

255
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:22.359
something and he was recording it,
maybe over lunch, so you'll hear some

256
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:27.319
background noise, but you can still
hear them clearly and what they're talking about.

257
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:32.599
Another one, it seems like took
place in the office, But it's

258
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.720
pieces of that interviews, kind of
some key moments, and we're going to

259
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:40.839
play that for you. It's right
here. So through the course of the

260
00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:48.319
investigation, I have had others report
to me that you and Officer Powell have

261
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:57.039
been together, specifically performing oral sex
while on duty at the police substation.

262
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:06.839
I'm sorry, what that's That's the
information that I was given early on to

263
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:10.559
start the investigation, so that that
answers the question of you know, how,

264
00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:12.640
why is it affecting city employment?
Because the information I had was that

265
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:19.160
it was happening while on duty in
city property, and I have had that

266
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:26.000
confirmed through the investigation so far.
I'm not done, not that I haven't

267
00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:30.480
spoken to you, But that's why
it's a city issue, right, which

268
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:34.200
brings to light than any other relationship. That's why we're looking at it holistically.

269
00:26:34.960 --> 00:26:40.200
But the concern was raised because it
was reported to be happening on shift

270
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:45.240
in the city owned building. He
helped me under like, I wasn't there.

271
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:48.880
I don't know if it took place
or not. I'm just here to

272
00:26:48.920 --> 00:26:53.880
try to understand why and how that's
being reported. Can I ask who would

273
00:26:53.920 --> 00:27:00.640
have first reported that? I can't
answer that at this point because station still

274
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:06.759
opening ongoing, so those conversations are
still confidential, Okay, Is there a

275
00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:11.720
reason that they would assume that or
bring that up at all? The confirmation

276
00:27:11.960 --> 00:27:18.319
on the act I have been told
came directly from you to the person who

277
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:25.640
reported it to me that you talked
about the act, You talked about his

278
00:27:25.839 --> 00:27:32.079
size, what it looked like.
Is there any evidence of that? Can

279
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:33.960
you tell me about an encounter that
you had with him before you were an

280
00:27:33.960 --> 00:27:41.160
official officer at your house. Uh. Yeah, so, I don't remember

281
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:47.240
what it was when he and we
were together hanging out when he met us

282
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:53.079
at Michies in Merphysburg. We all
got some duras to bring back to Mars.

283
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:59.000
We were taking out for a little
bit. Jed came home, who

284
00:27:59.079 --> 00:28:07.200
started drinking. I wanted to try
to get Jed to have a thing with

285
00:28:07.279 --> 00:28:14.680
all of us. We played string, you know, And then when Vinie

286
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:19.680
went out onto the patio with with
Jed, me and time kissed for a

287
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:26.039
little bit. And then that was
it that you were involved with somebody's wife

288
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:30.640
making out. But as first that
that was this that you had talked about

289
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:34.839
a threesome. Right, y'all had
made out and am, okay we kissed,

290
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:47.039
but okay, then further, okay, okay, So is that when

291
00:28:47.039 --> 00:28:52.319
your husband came in saw you guys
kissing he wasn't even home then, okay?

292
00:28:53.480 --> 00:29:00.440
So no, when that happened,
when mAb's was like right by us,

293
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:06.519
and then on the couch, Max
was like, if y'all start making

294
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:11.079
out, maybe Jed will get into
my husband into the idea. And when

295
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:15.480
we started making out. Jed was
like no, yeah, yeah, okay.

296
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:19.200
And then and then there was a
conversation the next day about I thought

297
00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:22.200
Jed was down for this, and
you were like yeah, no, yeah.

298
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:26.440
I thought you'd me and my husband
about it three soon before, So

299
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:29.519
I I didn't know if it was
good to like, I didn't think he'd

300
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:33.680
have an issue with got it up
in the weight room. The weight room.

301
00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:41.240
I got a report that you get
in the weight room, he made

302
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:52.039
out. So what I have is
that you it was an off work day,

303
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.039
You came in, asked him to
come over to help you work on

304
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:03.839
something, and he came over,
and then there was a that was given

305
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:08.559
and then he went back to work
and you went out trying out, says

306
00:30:11.640 --> 00:30:15.319
me and my husband. You've been
going the what And I'm just does he

307
00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:21.279
know about any of this? Okay? So just so you know, I

308
00:30:21.319 --> 00:30:26.400
don't talk to spouses. I can't
talk about anybody else as far as I'm

309
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.079
concerned, I don't talk to spouses. I said to you last Friday,

310
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:33.759
as I said that every single other
person I've spoken to what you do outside

311
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:37.319
of work, I don't care.
I don't even judge when it comes to

312
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:41.160
work. That's why we're here,
cause this has come to work. So

313
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:45.359
I'm not I'm not calling your husband. I'm not communicating with anybody else's spouse,

314
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:49.079
groom or that is up to you. But I would like to know

315
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:57.640
all of the details about Sergeant Powell
cause I know a lot M had sex

316
00:30:57.680 --> 00:31:03.359
a lot is just been here for
me. I was there for him cause

317
00:31:03.400 --> 00:31:08.559
I know his wife just doesn't want
to have sex with him. Maybe my

318
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:15.240
husband were kind of on the verge
of a dwars and I just cracked and

319
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:22.240
then it just kind of got out
of hand. Kay. When did when

320
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:26.960
did it start? I was a
while ago. I can't put an exact

321
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.079
remember on it. This year,
last year? That was this year?

322
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:36.680
Kay? When did it end?
Or has it ended? Oh? Yeah,

323
00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:41.119
it has It was probably a month
or two ago. Okay it it

324
00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:42.920
was two months? A yeah,
it was it was two months ago.

325
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:49.920
You know, starting power? Where
did it happen? On duty? I

326
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:56.200
just give him, I just give'em in the substation with substation, substation,

327
00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:01.119
okay, okay? Inside? Do
you have a foot fetish or do

328
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:07.720
you send pictures of your feet to
people? I does TI has a foot

329
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:14.240
fetish? And so he would ask
you for pictures of your feet? Did

330
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:22.079
you send pictures of your feet to
Seneca? I would, I know I

331
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:30.039
didn't time unfold the whole relationship start
to finish with Tie. We've been close

332
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:37.119
forever. Multiple times would say,
you know, you use me, you

333
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:45.039
know if you ever want to have
save excuse me exactly like that. Maybe

334
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:51.480
would always just talk about me like
that, and I I put it off

335
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:55.599
for a long time. I mean
we've only had sex twice, and we

336
00:32:55.720 --> 00:33:00.480
would send pictures back and forth,
and I feel like you've touched everything.

337
00:33:01.559 --> 00:33:09.000
It's done a lot. Yeah,
still senior counselor. Yeah, actually today,

338
00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:15.599
still being honest, he's hopefully good
about to go to couples counselor.

339
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:21.920
Good. You guys are going to
try to stay together again. Have you

340
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:27.680
been hundred percent honest with your others? That was brutal, probably worse than

341
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:30.000
me in chief, right, Yeah, it was. It was amazing.

342
00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:37.200
I'm glad I told them all.
Right. So that's Megan Hall and her

343
00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:46.160
responses and and I guess her admitting
to several things with HR director Paton.

344
00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:58.200
And we also have the interview she
gave to a local news outlet after she

345
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:02.839
announced that she was the city of
Laverne, the chief of police, Lewis

346
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:08.559
Powell and Henry thy McGowan, and
she kind of gives her side and says,

347
00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:13.960
why she's suing those folks, So
we're going to play that four you

348
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:16.760
it's right here. Meghan Hall became
the face of the scandal and the target

349
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:22.679
of nationwide ridicule, and she's now
filed a federal lawsuit tonight. In an

350
00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:28.079
exclusive interview with our Nick Barris,
Hall describes a toxic workplace behind closed doors

351
00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:34.840
and how sexual misconduct spiraled out of
control. Meghan Hall was twenty four years

352
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.960
old when she was hired as an
officer here at the Laverne Police Department two

353
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:43.360
years ago. Her plan was to
have a career in law enforcement. She

354
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:47.760
now knows that dream is likely over. I remember while interviewing for the position

355
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:55.239
at Laverne Police Department, they described
the environment as a family. However,

356
00:34:55.599 --> 00:35:01.320
while I was aspiring to protect my
community, the Laverne Police Department was not

357
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:06.320
protecting me. By now most of
the country knows what happened. Hall,

358
00:35:06.480 --> 00:35:09.599
four other officers, and the police
chief were fired last month. This after

359
00:35:09.639 --> 00:35:15.920
two separate investigations found that Hall engaged
in sexual activity and or shared intimate photos

360
00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:21.440
and videos with several male officers.
The chief and two sergeants were among those

361
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:25.800
implicated. Now Hall and her attorney, Wesley Clark are suing those three supervisors

362
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:30.559
and the city in federal court for
civil rights violations. Megan wasn't looked at

363
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:35.639
like a rookie cop to be trained
and promoted. She was looked at as

364
00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:38.800
a piece of meat to be sexualized
and exploited. Since the story broke,

365
00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:44.079
Hall, the lone female officer fired
and only woman on the second shift,

366
00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:50.000
became a target nationwide for sexual jokes
and taunting. I received harassing and threatening

367
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:54.840
messages on my phone daily. I
felt like I'd been terrorized. And yes,

368
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:59.920
now she is suing. No criminal
charges have been filed in the case.

369
00:36:00.280 --> 00:36:04.079
Hall knows there are those who will
say she was a consenting adult who

370
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:09.159
willingly participated in sexual antics in violation
of police department policy, and that now

371
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:14.400
she wants to blame others, including
one sergeant who targeted her early on.

372
00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:16.400
I know what most people are saying. You know you could have said no.

373
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:22.679
I get it. But my response
to them is that I did say

374
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:29.840
no, and he wouldn't take it
for an answer. Eventually I gave in

375
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:32.599
from pressure. So it's not as
easy to say she could have just said

376
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:37.559
no. She did say no on
several occasions. Miss Hall tried to get

377
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:44.800
out of this relationship and she was
not allowed to. Hall concedes she participated

378
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:49.119
under durest. She's not saying she
was raped, but adds that the seleacious

379
00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:53.519
details made public of sex on the
job put her alone center stage and do

380
00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:58.920
not tell the whole story. They
isolated me, they shunned me, they

381
00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:02.800
accused me, and they blamed me
for becoming a victim. Hall suffered from

382
00:37:02.840 --> 00:37:08.000
depression to the point of considering suicide
and at one point was hospitalized. She

383
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:15.079
felt trapped. My supervisors worked together
to take advantage of my vulnerabilities and my

384
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:20.400
mental health, and they used it
for their gain and sexual pleasure. And

385
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:24.159
that included the police chief, Chip
Davis. The independent investigation found he was

386
00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:29.880
aware of what was going on and
even received intimate photos and videos of Hall.

387
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:32.599
Who do you even turn to when
the chief of police is sexually harassing

388
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:38.360
you? How could I get justice
when the entire system, including the chief,

389
00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:45.199
not only condoned such behavior but participated
in it. I was lost and

390
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:51.920
I felt alone. I had no
one to turn to, and I had

391
00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:55.559
nowhere to go. Hall now realizes
her career in law enforcement is likely over,

392
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:01.639
and she knows those ugly memes on
social media forever her reputation's sullied.

393
00:38:01.920 --> 00:38:07.639
No woman should ever have to endure
this type of abuse. What happened to

394
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:12.719
me during my employment at Oliverne's Police
Department, it should never happen to anyone.

395
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:15.800
Hall now hopes to put what happened
to her here at the LAVERNPD behind

396
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:21.119
her. She is married and says
she has a strong family support system and

397
00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:24.159
says that it was her faith that
helped carry her through the turmoil. So

398
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:30.119
there's Megan Hall, y'all in her
own words. You can make your judgments

399
00:38:30.360 --> 00:38:36.440
based off of that. We've got
one more episode coming your way in this

400
00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:39.000
series. It'll be episode three.
It'll be coming at you next week.

401
00:38:39.519 --> 00:38:49.039
And it is every allegation that Meghan
Hall makes against the City of Laverne,

402
00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:53.960
Tennessee, the chief of police,
and those two individuals we mentioned, Lewis

403
00:38:54.000 --> 00:39:01.559
Powell and Henry ty McGowan. It
is an eye opener. Look always two

404
00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:07.840
sized every story, sometimes there's three. We're gonna give you her side in

405
00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:14.039
full next week and that'll wrap up
that series. Thank you for listening to

406
00:39:14.519 --> 00:39:22.119
exposed the scandalous files of the elite, the infamous exploits a police officer,

407
00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:28.639
Megan Hall. Until next time,
I'm Jim Chapman. Much love,
