Former detective sues town, alleging gender discrimination Man returns class ring lost 47 years ago by couple

North Kingstown, R.I. (AP) — A former Rhode Island police detective is suing the town that employed her, saying she was discriminated against due to her gender and an injured knee that left her disabled.

Holly Cole, a former detective in North Kingstown, is seeking unspecified damages in the federal lawsuit. The Providence Journal reports Cole is asking the court to ban gender discrimination and retaliation in the town.

According to the lawsuit, Cole was assigned to light duty after she fell in a parking lot and injured her left kneecap. She alleges she was asked to go to multiple strenuous calls despite being assigned to light duty.

Cole said she was ordered not to work by her doctor because of stress from discrimination.

The police department declined to comment.

Dennis Port, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts man stumbled upon a mystery while walking along on a Cape Cod beach — a Manhattan College class ring lost 47 years ago.

Jim Wirth found that the 1969 class ring was inscribed with the name Patrick O'Hagan. NBC Boston reports Wirth found the ring in July while searching a Cape Cod beach with his metal detector.

After an online search, Wirth found the number of O'Hagan's wife Christine on Long Island, N.Y. He called her and explained that he found the ring.

Patrick O'Hagan explained he lost the ring while he was on his honeymoon in Dennis Port. Christine O'Hagan said she never gave up hope they would find the ring again.
