SALISBURY — A jury has awarded a Statesville man $2.3 million in an alienation of affection lawsuit over claims an Iredell County deputy broke up his marriage.
Michael J. Freeman of Mooresville was ordered to pay Brian Clark McCoy of Statesville after McCoy’s 11-year marriage ended.
McCoy originally filed the suit in Iredell County in 2005, but was awarded a transfer to Rowan County last year.
The case was settled today in Rowan Superior Court
According to the lawsuit, Angela Brewer McCoy and Freeman carried on an “adulterous affair which included meetings between the two and acts of sexual intercourse.”
Angela McCoy left her husband one day shy of their 11th wedding anniversary, according to the lawsuit.
Angela McCoy is a clerk at the Iredell County courthouse.
Jurors awarded Brian McCoy more than he was seeking. The McCoys have two children.
