A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed by a former Wilmingtonwho accused the police department of engaging in racial discrimination and improperly collecting and using data from seized cellphones, including her own.
Coleman, who was a master sergeant and in line for promotion to lieutenant, left the department in January after an investigation into statements she made regarding the 2007 murder of a friend of her daughter’s biological father. According to the lawsuit, Coleman told investigators in 2007 that a man named Ramadan was a suspect in the murder and that she would not be surprised if someone killed him.
Coleman was placed on administrative duty, but rather than report to her new assignment, she began a previously scheduled vacation two days early, according to court records. Defense attorneys say Coleman did not return from vacation but instead resigned. Coleman claims she was"constructively discharged."
Coleman claimed that, while on vacation, she began hearing from several officers about personal information that had been created and stored on her phone. The information included photographs of her nude and wearing lingerie,"intimate videos" of her with her husband and text messages discussing how she and other black officers were treated worse than white officers.
