Officer Gentry presented a photograph of Lt. Shackelford sleeping inside the police station as part of her defense against allegations of sleeping on duty. However, the court noted that the context of the photograph was not provided, and there was no evidence that Chief Hargett was aware of this incident or that Lt. Shackelford was disciplined for it. The court concluded that Officer Gentry failed to show that the disciplinary action against her was a pretext for retaliation.
