Female Kamala Secret Service bodyguard who brawled with her colleagues previously filed $1M gender discrimination lawsuit against the Dallas Police Department

Kamala Harris's 'erratic' bodyguard who got into a brawl with colleagues this week previously filed a $1million gender discrimination lawsuit against the city of Dallas.

An armed Secret Service officer assigned to the Vice President was removed from duty after she got into a physical fight with fellow agents on Monday, according to reports. 

The agent began fighting fellow officers Monday morning after appearing for duty at Joint Base Andrew in Maryland before the vice president arrived for a planned trip to Wisconsin, according to the Washington Examiner.

RealClearPolitics identified the agent as Michelle Herczeg, 43, who is a female agent on Harris' security detail.

It has now been revealed that Heczeg had previously filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against the city of Dallas in 2016.

The lawsuit alleges that Herczeg was retaliated against after she reported sexual harassment of her colleagues in the Dallas Police Department.  

Herczeg also claimed that she was not allowed to return to a crime reduction after she alleged that a senior officer assaulted her in May 2015, the Dallas Morning News reported. 

Legal documents from 2021 show that Herczeg sued the city of Dalllas for gender discrimination, wrongful termination based on gender, retaliation based on gender and aiding and abetting discrimination. 

The initial suit claimed the department 'tolerates unprofessional behavior such as fraternization and unprofessional male and female working relationships based on an atmosphere which finds the male officer in charge, regardless of rank or ability.' 

Herczeg was hired by the Dallas Police Department in September 2008 and became a senior corporal in 2015. Before joining the police force - she served in the Air Force for eight years. 

She graduated from the police academy in the top five percent of her class and sought further law enforcement training to become a drug recognition expert. 

Herczeg claims that she was not allowed to return to the North Central Crime Reduction Team after she reported the alleged assault.

The lawsuit claims that she was denied overtime patrol shifts - which caused her and her family to suffer from 'stress and mental anguish from loss in payment compensation.'

On Monday, Herczeg arrived for duty acting erratically, grabbing a fellow agent's personal phone and started deleting applications from it. She also was mumbling to herself, hiding behind curtains and throwing items at fellow agents including menstrual pads, according to the report. 

Herczeg told her fellow agents they would 'burn in hell and needed to listen to God.'

Sources said the special agent in charge and a detail shift supervisor tried to calm Herczeg after she began exhibiting aggressive behavior, but she tackled the Senior Agent in Charge of security detail and began punching him.

Although Herczeg was armed, her weapon remained in the holster until the she was disarmed by her colleagues. She was handcuffed and removed from the terminal.

The Secret Service confirmed an agent on the vice president's detail began 'displaying behavior their colleagues found distressing' and was removed from duty on Monday.

Harris was at her home at the Naval Observatory when the incident occurred, according to the Secret Service, and there was no impact to her travel plans.

'The U.S. Secret Service takes the safety and health of our employees very seriously. As this was a medical matter, we will not disclose any further details,' Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.

Other agents were aware of previous incidents of strange behavior from Michelle Herczeg prior to the incident at the airport.
