Suit Filed Against State Police

A Baton Rouge woman is suing the Louisiana State Police for discrimination. Camille Brewton says she was mistreated during her 10 years with the police as a data entry clek because she is deaf. She says she was only eight days from retirement. The lawsuit says her requests for an interpreter were ignored all but one time - and that one time she was provided an interpreter who was unqualified. A spokesman for the state police disputes her claims, saying Brewton failed to meet job expectations.
