As Assistant Chief of Police, Michael Hamilton was named in a lawsuit filed by former officer William Smith, who alleged that Hamilton, along with Chief Hudson, retaliated against him for supporting a white mayoral candidate. Smith claimed that Hamilton was involved in changing his work shifts, leading to the loss of his second job, and that this caused severe emotional distress. The court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants on March 12, 2015, dismissing the case.
