Ex-police officer claims doubl
A former Franklin police detective who had an affair with an informant claims in new federal court papers that city police officials discriminated against him when they fired him and promoted his boss last year.
Former officer Andre Davis, 31, who is African- American, alleges that his former supervisor Rodney Escobar also had an affair with informant Kendra Morriss though Escobar was not punished.
Davis, who was a police officer for seven years, filed his lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Nashville and is seeking lost pay and possible reinstatement to his job, among other possible awards.
"It's an old adage that what's good for the goose is good for the gander," said attorney Phillip Davidson, Davis' attorney. "As we've alleged in our complaint, you had two people committing the same act. We don't think that's constitutionally permissible."
Franklin Police say they had no evidence that Escobar had a relationship with Morriss, who was living at the Best Western motel on Highway 96 and working as a police informant at the time. Escobar was cleared of any wrongdoing last year.
Davis admitted he had fallen in love with Morriss and frequently saw her alone, which is a violation of police ethics code that forbids officers from being alone with informants. He was fired Aug. 13 after a departmental hearing with Franklin Police Chief Jackie Moore and others, records show.
Escobar, who is not a defendant in the lawsuit though he is named, left the police force just a few weeks after Davis was fired and became the city's human resources risk manager.
He is identified as being "non African-American" in court records. Morriss is white.
