RICHMOND COUNTY, N.C. — A Richmond County commissioner can now return to his work on the board.
Channel 9 reported in May that Commissioner Jamie Gathings sued the board after they suspended him in February.
That vote came after complaints that Gathings created a hostile work environment.
Commissioners also wanted to remove him.
On Wednesday night, they voted to settle with Gathings and end the attempt to remove him.
