Little Rock School District tried to cover-up a convicted felon working with kids at Don R. Roberts Elementary

Based on a tip, we sent an AFOIA request to the Little Rock School District requesting records about a sketchy social worker and convicted felon, Jonathan Earl Wilson, being at Don Roberts Elementary. Wilson has a sordid criminal past that includes arson, drug, forgery, theft and weapons charges. LRSD responded and stated they had no records about Wilson. We knew that was a lie, and a violation of the AFOIA (failure to produce the requested existing public records),  and so we requested additional records from them to catch them in a Rope-A-Dope maneuver.  We next asked for records about any agreements/contracts between LRSD and Arkansas Holistic Therapy. Those records proved to be their undoing and exposed their willful violation of the AFOIA. For in the contract between LRSD and Arkansas Holistic Therapy, there was a requirement for records about therapists to be provided to LRSD. We then fired back another AFOIA request to LRSD asking for the same records we sought in our ...

Former ASP Trooper Lincoln Smith arrested and charged with possession of Child Sex Abuse Material ("CSAM")

On April 29, 2025, we published a story about the Arkansas State Police firing Trooper Lincoln Smith. At that time, Smith's termination letter is all the ASP would provide. On October 7, 2025, a federal grand jury indicted Smith, under seal,  for possession of child sex abuse material ("CSAM"). Smith was arrested by US Marshals on October 15, 2025 and booked into the Pulaski County Detention Center. A hearing was held at the Eastern District Federal Courthouse on October 15, 2025 and these were the conditions of Smith's release. Smith was released into the custody of Emalee Smith, and can have no phone with internet access; no viewing of any pornography; and he can only have supervised access to any minor children, including his own son. And no surprise, Smith is a registered Republican. A jury trial is set for December 1, 2025 at 9:15 AM before federal judge James M. Moody, Jr. Stay tuned for updates.

Joey Williams, a Hot Springs cop, was arrested for domestic battery after his wife sustained a perforated eardrum from a blow to her head.

Hot Springs Police arrested one of their own cops on October 14th at around 7 PM. Joey Thomas Williams was arrested and charged with domestic battering in the third degree, a class A misdemeanor, and was booked into the Garland County Detention Center around 12:03 AM this morning.  Williams and his wife, Julie, were arguing over laundry and they shoved each other. Julie then slapped her husband and he slapped his wife back, causing a loss of hearing in her left ear. Julie went to the emergency room at a nearby hospital and it was determined that the blow to her head by her husband had perforated her left ear drum.

10 things about Officer Tommy Norman that NLRPD and Officer Tommy Norman tried to hide.

  Since 2019, we made multiple Freedom of Information requests to the North Little Rock Police Department for records in concerning Officer Tommy Norman. What they sent in response consisted mostly of letters sent in about his " good works " and what a " fine example " of a police officer he was. It wasn't until we  initiated  litigation in August and September of 2025 that NLRPD produced records they had previously withheld. Records that shattered the narrative and persona Officer Tommy Norman had created and NLRPD had condoned. While some of this information was known by the community that Officer Tommy Norman exploited, there were few receipts of it until now. 10 Things NLRPD & Officer Tommy Norman Tried to Hide  ✦   In 1993, 21 year old Tommy Norman and 16 year old Erika Jones-Rhodes had a child together - Jimmarica Jones.
