WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. A West Memphis Police major who told female employees they needed a “spanking” has returned to active duty, according to documents obtained by WREG in a Freedom of Information Act request.
The documents showed the city hired Memphis-based attorney Florence Johnson to look into complaints against two West Memphis Police Department employees, Maj. Stacy Allen and Lt. Charles Burch.
The complaints against Allen by female law enforcement officers and dispatchers included allegations of sexual harassment, gender discrimination and retaliation.
The independent report called Allen’s behavior “longstanding,” dating back to 2017 or earlier. It detailed situations where Allen would practice verbal abuse by telling “a black woman (dispatcher) should not be married to a white man,” asking women at work who they were dating and suggesting they “needed ‘spanking. ”
