Ex-Flint Michigan State Police post commander sued by trooper following internal probe
The former commander of the Michigan State Police post in Flint is alleged to have been providing answers to promotion exam questions to favored officers, while also engaging in retaliatory actions against others, as stated in a federal lawsuit.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Flint, sheds additional light on an ongoing MSP internal affairs investigation that originated at the Flint post. This investigation has resulted in several personnel actions, including firings, forced retirements, a demotion, and a resignation. Furthermore, it has had an impact on the MSP post in West Branch, located in Ogemaw County.
First Lt. Yvonne Brantley, who was the post commander in Flint, retired in lieu of being fired. Sgt. Jared Chiros, who worked at the Flint post, had resigned.
Brantley is the sole defendant named in the lawsuit filed by Trooper Evan Neilson, although Chiros also holds a substantial involvement in the legal proceedings.
The internal affairs investigation determined that Brantley would favor or target certain individuals for promotion or non-promotion and for those who she wanted promoted, she would feed them answers to test questions and provide the test questions to prepare for taking the examination the lawsuit alleges.
