A former Kentucky Transportation Cabinet employee has filed a lawsuit after she claims she was subjected to what she calls “abuse.”

She claims she had a supervisor who did things such as “urinating on (her) shoes,” even forcing her to “clean up blood from a deer’s head.”

They are allegations that are, in a word, disturbing. And they’re all part of a lawsuit filed in Franklin Circuit Court by Stacy Smith, a former employee of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet in Cumberland County.

“At first I didn’t believe it,” said Shane Sidebottom, Smith’s lawyer. “I can’t see anyone making up something like this.”

“I’ve represented a lot of people across the state and this one takes the cake,” Sidebottom said.

The suit claims Smith, the “only female employed in the office” began work for the cabinet in “2005” and was “forced to resign” one month ago.

Court documents obtained by LEX18 say in June of last year, Smith was called into her supervisor’s office and told “that he ‘hated her’ and warned that she better quit her job or else he would make her life a ‘living hell’.”

Smith didn’t leave, so she says he “called her parents on the phone and told them that (she) was on drugs.”

In October, Smith claims her supervisor “dragged the bloody head of a deer by her desk,” “then instructed (Smith) to clean up the blood from the deer’s head.”

Smith says that several times, he “exposed his genitalia in front of (her)” and “urinated near where she was standing.” Smith claims once, he even “urinated on her shoes.”

It’s a suit Smith’s attorney says he is confident they will win.

LEX18 reached out to the Transportation Cabinet for comment on the lawsuit. A spokesperson said that it’s against their policy to comment on pending suits but that they will respond on the case in court.
