Hales v. City of Newport News
U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Virginia · 4:11-cv-00028
Role in this record: Named defendant as Chief of Police. Pleading capacity is not specified in this opinion.
The pleading opinion names this public employee in an unlawful-arrest and excessive-force civil action. Its description of alleged events is not a factual finding.
Documented outcome: The September 30, 2011 opinion dismissed all claims against the City defendants, including Fox. Later proceedings have not been verified.
The later final judgment, settlement or appeal has not been obtained. This does not establish present employment, personal wrongdoing or Brady/Giglio status.
Identity match & review date
Exact full name and Newport News professional role in the court opinion. No current employee with a similar name was substituted. Reviewed October 10, 2026.
Brady/Giglio status has not been established here. A lawsuit, decertification decision or third-party database entry does not by itself establish inclusion on a prosecutor’s list. List access and research gaps.
