Cop claims denial of lieutenant exam sparks protest
South Charleston police sergeant Jack Stump contends he should have had a chance to take the lieutenant examination given to K. L. Jarrett on September 24. Stump says he failed that exam by eight points in September and was denied a retake in October, while the Civil Service Commission overruled his protest and noted rules bar retaking an exam within six months. Stump argues state law conflicts with the six month wait and demands public notice of exam times, but the commission waived notice for Jarrett since he was the only eligible applicant. Williams suggests seeking resolution in the Circuit Court of Kanawha County.
