(Dover, DE) -- A police captain in Delaware is filing a federal lawsuit claiming he wasn't promoted to police chief because he's white. According to reports, Dover Police Captain David Spicer filed a lawsuit last week after his discrimination and retaliation complaint to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission was dismissed. Former Deputy Chief Marvin Mailey, who's black, was promoted to police chief in 2017. Spicer says in the lawsuit he was more qualified than Mailey because he has more degrees, training and experience. The defendants named have declined to comment.
