An Alabama jury awarded $500,000 to a Dothan woman who said her former boss had her arrested on bogus theft charges and defamed her multiple times after she told him she was leaving for another job.
Gayla White, a former marketing manager, event coordinator and bartender at Windmill Station, worked at the Dothan wedding venue from September 2016 to mid-June 2018.
At the last event White worked at Windmill Station, Donaldson “grabbed her arm and told her he would press charges for stealing if she did not return a calendar” that belonged to her boss, the suit stated. From her initial arrest until she was cleared of the charges, Donaldson “continued to make false and defamatory comments about” White, including calling her a thief and other defamatory statements that were aired on and printed in Dothan media outlets.
