We reached out to Pulaski County Sheriff Eric Higgins and he advised us that a file had already been started by his supervisor.  We followed up with a submission of am AFOIA request: The PSCO's Public Information Officer sent us an email on Monday that contained a press release.

The Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Training ("CLEST") will vote on a request made by North Little Rock Police Department to decertify former NLRPD cop Tommy "Freak" Norman at their April meeting next week. Norman resigned as internal and criminal investigations were in progress and that is an automatic decertification under CLEST rules. Our  Ean Lee Bordeaux , spearheaded a investigation of Norman that forced NLRPD to open an internal investigation of Norman's questionable and illegal activities. Soon after and not connected to the internal investigation, Norman was arrested for Domestic Violence. Norman resigned a few days after his arrest ending a sketchy 27 year stint at NLRPD.
