Little Rock this week declined to release records to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette when asked for materials related to an investigation of complaints within the Police Department that was overseen by an Arkansas Tech University professor.
The decision to withhold an investigative report produced as part of the review is now the subject of an Arkansas Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the city filed July 23 in Pulaski County Circuit Court on behalf of four police officers.
