In 2019, Sergeant Sparks allegedly threatened Officer Charity Moore with disciplinary action for taking leave, demanded she work longer hours to accommodate white dispatchers, and altered her work schedule to prevent consecutive days off. He also reportedly posted bigoted and violent ‘memes’ on social media without facing discipline. These actions led to a lawsuit alleging race discrimination and retaliation.
