Former Iron Mountain Police Officer Teresa Williams alleges in a federal lawsuit that her direct supervisor and a former patrol partner bet on who could have sex with her first.

Teresa Williams thought she had landed her dream job in Iron Mountain, Michigan, becoming the first female officer in the history of the rural town's police department.

Williams, 35, also spoke about Iron Mountain, a tight-knit community of about 7,500 residents in the Upper Peninsula that borders Wisconsin. Jack Schultz, Williams’ attorney, said he believes police in Iron Mountain are insulated from checks-and-balances systems to hold the powerful accountable that are available in bigger communities.

A representative for the Dickinson County Prosecuting Attorney's Office declined to comment Thursday.Only weeks after Williams was hired, she was invited to a bar, the lawsuit says. She was excited about the opportunity to bond with her new colleagues. “Dumais pressured Plaintiff into taking the second IMPD shot, however this time Dumais put his hand between Plaintiff’s legs and grabbed her genitals,” it says.

During Williams' tenure, Budek was promoted to sergeant and Dumais was promoted to deputy director of police services — the second-highest position in the department.
