FORT SMITH (KFSM) – The fired officer accused of lying after releasing the details of an undercover officer’s arrest of a prostitute appealed his case to Circuit Court his week, saying he did not break any department policies and deserves his job back.
Police deny any wrongdoing and say the fired sergeant put an undercover officer’s identity at risk and lied about it during an internal investigation.
Sgt. Don Paul Bales was fired Oct. 20 from the Fort Smith Police Department after Chief Kevin Lindsey found he violated several department rules and regulations. The department concluded Bales shared a photo of a confidential probable cause affidavit with his attorney and lied about it. Bales had been concerned
the April 2013 arrest of a prostitute may have violated police procedure because the undercover officer engaged in sexual acts with the suspect before arresting her.
