Quick Glance: Reinstated Philly Cop Sues City for $100,000 in Unpaid Overtime
- Joseph Stevenson, a fired Philadelphia police sergeant, is suing the city for nearly $100,000 in overtime pay he claims he is owed for the time he was off duty.

- The city's decision to fire Stevenson was based on hearsay, deemed insufficient by arbitrator Thomas Leonard.
