A Secret Service officer assigned to protect Vice President Kamala Harris who got into a brawl with her colleagues earlier this week previously filed a $1 million gender discrimination lawsuit against the city of Dallas while working as a police officer.
Michelle Herczeg was removed from her duties on Wednesday after displaying erratic behavior and assaulting a superior officer while awaiting Harris’ departure from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Monday.
In December 2016, Herczeg — then a senior corporal with the Dallas Police Department — filed her claim against the city, alleging that she “was targeted for being a female officer and treated less favorably,” according to a contemporary report by the Dallas Morning News.
Sources confirmed Herczeg’s identity and her role in the earlier lawsuit to The Post on Thursday.
According to RealClearPolitics, Herczeg arrived at Joint Base Andrews on Monday morning and began deleting apps from a male agent’s personal cellphone before becoming more irate.
