LINCOLN The incoming superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol allegedly told one of his fellow officers that women aren't suited to work in law enforcement, according to an attorney for a female trooper who sued the agency.
Brad Rice, selected by Gov. Pete Ricketts to be the next commander of the patrol, denied making the statement while testifying in a gender discrimination lawsuit that cost the state nearly $250,000.
In 2004, Rice was a patrol captain who served on interview panels that declined to recommend promotions for Carla Schreiber. She filed a civil rights lawsuit and won her claim in 2007 following a jury trial in U.S. District Court.
Lincoln attorney Vincent Valentino, one of Schreibers two attorneys, said Tuesday that during his cross-examination of Rice, he asked if the captain had ever made a statement that women dont belong in law enforcement.
