cause. Others
like
Investigator
Jeff Savage,
a 26-year veteran
with this
Office
were summari ly
discharged.
The
turmoil
and low
morale
created
by these arbi trary
personnel
changes were
extremely disruptive, and
significantly
interfered
with
the efficient and effective
management
of
this
Office.
In
fact,
this
gross carelessness
prevented
the Defendant
from
properly
discharging
her
official duties
and
from
meeting
the
goals
and standards
she
set
for this Office
in her
own
“Mission
Statement.”
These
haphazard
personnel
changes
were unnecessary
and
unjustified,
and
wasted
valuable
time, talent
and
experience.
The
Defendant’s
gross
carelessness
also subjected
the
Office
to
the expense
of
recruiting and training or re-training vital technical and
management
personnel,
and
unnecessarily
delayed
on-going
criminal
investigations
and
prosecutions.
The Defendant’s
mismanagement
and
gross carelessness
in
the
discharge
of he r
official
duties
significantly
impaired
the
ability
of this Office
to serve
the
people of
Dallas
County
and of
the
State
of
Texas.

C.
Dereliction OfDuty
As
Evidence Of Gross arelessness
On or about July
28,
2015,
the
Defendant
suddenly
“disappeared”
and
left work
without
any prior notice
to anyone,
and
without
making
any
arrangements
for
the
management
and
operation
of this
important
Office
during her absence.
The
efendant left
it to
her
friends
to make up stories
about
the
reasons
for
her
absence
and her
whereabouts.
The
Defendant
remained
absent
from
work,
out of
communication and
unavailable
for conference
or
consultation
regarding he r official duties for the
next
eleven
11 weeks.
When
she finally
reappeared
and
returned
to work,
she explained
that
she
had
been
absent
to seek
medical
and
psychiatric
treatment
for a
debilitating
psychological
disorder.
However,
the
fact remains
that the
Defendant
essentially
abandoned
her
post.
The Defendant’s
dereliction
of
duty
isprimafacie evidence
of her gross carelessness

Second
mended Petition

forgiveness.
We
were uncomfortable
letting he r
leave
the
office that
day
bu t
felt
we
had
no
choice.
Ms.
Hawk and
traded
texts
later
that
day. wanted
to check
on
her
well being
and
state
of
mind.
She seemed somewhat
stable.
7/21/2019 State of Texas vs Susan Hawk
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/state-of-texas-vs-susan-hawk 43/52
After
this incident,
I began
to
contacting
people I trusted
to
stage
an
intervention
with
Ms.
Iawk.
The
people
spoke
with gave
me
more
insight
into
the
nature of Ms .
Hawk’s condition;
however
they
were
unwilling
to
help
confront
he r
about treatment.
ultimately
decided
to
confront
Ms .
Hawk
by
myself
after she called
an
unscheduled
office wide
meeting
where
her
bizarre behavior
alarmed
many
employees
in
the
audience.
I
spent the
weekend
of
March
21”
and 22” at
the
office hoping
Ms.
Hawk would appear
so
could confront
her. She
did
not. Numerous
calls
and texts to he r
went
unreturned.
On
Monday,
March
23”,
I arrived
at
the
office to
find
Ms.
Hawk
already there.
She
came
into
my
office and
appeared
to
be
in the
midst of
another
break
from
reality.
She
wanted
to
fire
a
top
administrative
employee
because
she “didn’t
trust him.”
She
was
unable
to
articulate
any reason
for
her
distrust.
At
this
point,
I
began
to
express my
concerns to he r
about
her health
and her
mental
well-being.
She abruptly
left
my
office without
comment
and went
i nto her
own
office.
Several
minutes later
she
summoned
me
to
he r
office for
a
private
closed door
conversation.
He r
cell
phone wa s
ou t
on
he r
desk
and
believed
she
was
audio
taping our
conversation.
Ms.
Hawk
began
to
accuse
me of
failing
to do
my
job.
told
her
this
was
untrue.
Ms. Hawk
became
more
agitated
and demanded
that
an
investigator
join
our meeting.
Once
the investigator
was
present.
she
continued to
accuse
me of failing
to
do
my
job.
She
asked
for
my resignation
several
times,
and
each
time
I
refused.
expressed
concerns
about
her health
and
the
effect
it
was
having on the
office. Finally,
she told
me
I
was
fired
and
asked
the
investigator
to
escort
me
from
the office.
Immediately,
after leaving the courthouse
contacted
Ms.
Hawk’s
political
advisor
and asked
for
a
five
minute
meeting.
I
told the
advisor that
Ms . Hawk
had had
complete
delusional
break om
reality
and needed
to
be
in in patient
treatment
immediately.
The foregoing summarizes
my
experiences
with
Ms.
Hawk
during 2015.
There are
numerous
other
examples that further
illustrate
the
behaviors
I’ve
described.
A full
recounting of
each
example
would
be
beyond
the
scope of
the requested
affidavit.
As stated
earlier have no
desire to
hun
Ms.
Hawk. wish
her a
full
recovery’.
