The Detroit Police Department Narcotics Unit is all about busting the bad guys but now one of its own is not fighting the felons - he's got a fight of his own.
Lieutenant Charles Flanagan, with Detroit Police Narcotics, has been on the force for 29 years. But now that law enforcer is filing a lawsuit citing racial discrimination.
Flanagan, who you can see is white, filed a complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission back in late May. His attorney, Mike Rataj, confirms those facts to Fox 2.
But his client is not finished making his claims. We're told Flanagan will soon file a federal whistleblower complaint.
Why?
He feels he's been subjected to a hostile work environment for reporting wrongdoing Flanagan says he spotted on the inside, inside the drug unit.
Last month Rataj tells us the lieutenant uncovered some questionable conduct during a probe inside the narcotics section, like sergeants failing to report drug evidence and making false evidence tags on stuff seized during drug raids like a video game system, a laptop and flat screen TVs for personal gain.
