BALTIMORE (AP) — Jury selection begins in U.S. District Court in Baltimore for a trial on a woman’s claim that she suffered sexual harassment and discrimination during Hagerstown Police Department training.

Tiffany Mosby-Grant is seeking $350,000 in compensatory and punitive damages from the city of Hagerstown in a trial scheduled for Tuesday through Friday.

Mosby-Grant claims that as the only woman in a class of 15 recruits, she was shunned, physically attacked and subjected to a hostile work environment. She contends that as a result of the harassment, she failed her firearms test and became clinically depressed.

The city denies her claims. It says Mosby-Grant rarely, if ever, complained about academy conditions. The city says she failed her firearms test because she couldn’t shoot well enough to make the grade.
