New Bern Mayor Lee Bettis avoided a temporary restraining order Thursday in Craven County Superior Court after agreeing to terms set by plaintiffs in a lawsuit against him.
Bettis was sued by New Bern Housing Authority commissioners after he brought charges against Ethel Sampson, chairwoman of the commissioners; Richard Peeler, vice chairman and Arabelle Bryant, commissioner, and later vowed to fire the entire board at a hearing Friday in City Hall.
Bettis’ attorney, Gary H. Clemmons of Chestnut, Clemmons and Peacock, PA., told Judge Arnold Jones that both parties had reached an agreement.
Bettis sat next to his attorney while Sampson sat between the Housing Authority’s two attorneys, Eric Remington and James Norment of the firm Ward and Smith.
