BLACKLISTED: The youngest Black police chief in America is putting his law enforcement colleagues on blast — and now he’s suing them as he fights to regain his credibility.
Brookford Police Chief Willie Armstrong reopened the 1992 disappearance of Dee Dee Dawkins — and says the investigation that followed ultimately turned against him.
Now, newly revealed text messages are at the center of a new lawsuit Armstrong filed against the Catawba County District Attorney.
A judge previously dismissed the state’s case against Armstrong.
Do you think Chief Armstrong’s name should be taken off the law enforcement “blacklist”?
