About this Article

A former Kane County Sheriff's deputy seeks $1.5 million and reinstatement to his job in a new federal lawsuit filed against Kane County, the sheriff's department and Sheriff Pat Perez. Steven Yahnke says Perez fired him in 2008 for supporting his Republican rival and because Perez saw him as a threat to run against him.
