Sgt. Franks – Russellville Police Department

In March 2016, Sgt. Franks observed Officer Gentry sitting in her patrol vehicle in the police station parking lot and believed she was sleeping on duty. He took a photograph of her with her eyes closed, mouth slightly open, and head tilted back. Officer Gentry contested the allegation, stating she was not asleep but had laid her head back due to a migraine. This incident led to disciplinary action against Officer Gentry, including a five-day suspension without pay for sleeping on duty. The case was part of a larger lawsuit where Officer Gentry alleged gender discrimination and retaliation, but the court granted summary judgment in favor of the City of Russellville.
