A longtime Klamath County sheriff’s supervisor who said he faced retaliation after initiating investigations into the sheriff’s two sons and then reporting Sheriff Chris E. Kaber’s attempt to protect them has filed a whistleblower suit against the county, the sheriff’s office and the sheriff.

Capt. Brian Bryson resigned earlier this year after nearly 30 years with the agency, citing ongoing harassment. Bryson is now running for sheriff.
