A veteran Williamsport Bureau of Police lieutentant claims in a federal lawsuit that he was passed over for promotions because he filed complaints on behalf of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 29 against anti-union activity.
Lt. Steven Helm, supervisor of daywatch, this week asserted in the complaint in U.S. Middle District Court his rights to free speech were violated. The lawsuit identified Mayor Derek Slaughter, former Mayor Gabriel J. Campana and the City of Williamsport as defendants.
Slaughter, who returned a telephone call for comment, said any statements regarding the lawsuit would need to come from J. David Smith or Austin White, the city solicitors and firm of McCormick Law.

LEWISBURG A former Williamsport police officer is headed to trial on charges he used the state JNET records system to obtain information on women for personal reasons.
Specially assigned Union County District Judge Jeffrey Rowe found Thursday that the state attorney general’s office had presented sufficient evidence to hold for trial the 28 counts a different judge had dismissed.
The new felony counts filed under a different section of the same computer law accuse former Cpl. Eric B Derr, 36, of intentionally and without authorization accessing the record systems.
The dismissed charges alleged he intended to do so under false pretenses.

A Williamsport district judge delayed making a ruling Friday on whether enough evidence exists against a former city police officer who allegedly used department resources to coerce women into sexual relationships.
District Judge Allen Page said he would review the evidence and come to a decision Wednesday after accusations were brought against Eric Derr, the ex-officer, who resigned last September.
Derr faces charges filed by state Deputy Attorney General Rebecca A. Elo to include 28 counts of unlawful use of a computer and other computer crimes, falsifying reports, tampering with public records and obstructing the law and criminal coercion.
