Four Little Rock police officers sued the city on Friday to get the findings of a review about how Police Chief Keith Humphrey is running the Police Department.
The Freedom of Information Act lawsuit was filed by attorney Robert Newcomb on behalf of Lt. Rusty Rothwell, Sgt. Kirk McCauley, John Sgt. Michael Trent and officer David Mattox.
Each of the four have complained of “wrongdoing” by Humphrey, so they should be allowed to see the results of the review because the findings reflect on their job performance, specifically whether they were found to have told the truth about Humphrey, Newcomb states.

A federal judge has temporarily blocked an Arkansas law banning the use of experimental drugs and gender-transition surgeries on minors, which was set to take effect next week in the state. The law, called the Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act, was adopted earlier this year in the southern state after lawmakers overrode Gov. Asa Hutchinson’s veto of the bill. Hutchinson, a Republican, said in April that the measure was “
extreme” and “
overbroad” and that it could not be defended on limited government grounds. The law was scheduled to be enacted on July 28.
