Chief Hargett – Russellville Police Department

Chief Hargett was involved in the demotion of Officer Gentry from sergeant to patrol officer in October 2015, following evaluations that cited poor leadership skills and professionalism. After Officer Gentry’s husband, a reserve officer, discussed her demotion with the mayor and made allegations against Chief Hargett, Chief Hargett removed him from the reserve officer program and banned him from the police station. Officer Gentry alleged that these actions were retaliatory, but the court found that she failed to establish a prima facie case of retaliation.
