NKSTER, Mich (wxyz) - Inkster Police Chief Greg Gaskin has been found guilty of racial discrimination in a lawsuit filed by a Lt. on the force and the Wayne county Jury awarded Lt. Kevin Smith 700 thousand dollars.
The jurors said they believed that Lt. Smith was transferred to oversee patrols on the streets because he testified in a previous discrimination lawsuit against the department. Chief Gaskin says that is not true, it was a lateral move and the department does not discriminate.
Smith's lawyer says even though the jury award was substantial, he thinks it is fair and sends a message that what happened won't be tolerated.
