Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Louisiana

Demoted

Can I be demoted from a Lietutenant to a Sergeant, from one Sergeant's statement, against my statement on an incident at work? There were no other people in the office at the time the incident took place. The Sergeant stated that I told him to tear up a letter, which is being considered evidence. I was written up on destroying evidence, and I had never had the letter in my possession at anytime. The Sergeant is the one who tore the letter up, and I was charged with destroying evidence.
