In a lawsuit filed Monday in federal court, Jeffrey Winn
accuses Police Superintendent Ronal Serpas and other police officials of
violating his constitutional rights.
Winn wasn't charged in the death of 31-year-old Henry
Glover, who was shot and killed by a former police officer before a different
officer burned his body in a car less than a week after the 2005 storm.
But Winn was fired last year for allegedly failing to tell
superiors what he knew about the burning of Glover's body. Winn says he didn't
learn until 2009 that a police officer set the blaze.
