EAST ST. LOUIS — City officials seeking a new police chief passed up the former
director of the Florida Highway Patrol, who formerly was a top commander of the
Illinois State Police, because he is white, two former members of a city board
claim.
Wyatt Frazer and Della Murphy allege in a federal lawsuit that they were forced
off the Police, Fire and Civil Service Board for their advocacy of a white
candidate when the chief's job was open in 2007.
