CHULA VISTA, Calif. — A police officer who sued the City of Chula Vista two years ago for the right to compete in a beauty pageant has now been placed on paid leave in a dispute over a $17,000 engagement ring.
Officer Deanna Michelle Mory’s former fiancé Brian Callahan, a soldier in Iraq, alleges the ring was stolen after the couple broke up.
Prosecutors declined to file theft charges, but a city hearing over the allegation is set for Aug. 29 and Mory was placed on leave.
Mory, who was named Ms. California in January 2006, sued the city after police administrators told her to stop competing in pageants.
