 FORT SMITH (KFSM) – The fired officer who released the details of an undercover officer’s arrest of a prostitute while receiving sexual acts filed a lawsuit against the police department this 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. 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. The police department subsequently fired Bales after his attorney placed a redacted version of the probable cause affidavit on his web blog. The unredacted version of the affidavit shows the undercover officer’s name, meaning Bales shared the name of an undercover officer with his attorney, someone who is not a law enforcement officer, the police department contends.
