Major Cristina Plummer stole time but won't face criminal charges The Scott Administration has refused since last year to provide copies of complaints and internal investigation files of their corrupt cops. We have an on-going  lawsuit concerning that and a hearing is set for November 12, 2026. One of the records they are trying to hide concerns Mayor Christina Plummer. Plummer is over the Major Crimes section. In March of 2026 a former LRPD cop made a complaint about her off-duty employment at Walmart. An internal investigation was opened at the direction of the chief at that time, Heath Helton. Records obtained from Walmart reflected that Plummer was working off-duty at the same time she was supposed to be working at LRPD. Records reflect that Plummer was paid for being on duty for over 5 hours at the same time she was being paid to work off-duty at Walmart. On one of the occasions, Plummer took sick leave. LRPD policy states that cops that are on sick leave cannot work off duty ...

An ASP trooper saw a pickup truck traveling at a high rate of speed (100 mph) and gave chase. Trooper Blayn Lucas The trooper was surprised (and a little pissed off) when found that he had pulled over an inebriated brother in blue.  Aguilera-Marceleno stumbled our of his vehicle and almost fell over.

Based on information provided to us, two Black female student were fighting and two teachers intervened. In the video one teacher can be observed to be restraining one of the girls and the other teacher grabs the other girl, lifts her up into the air and slams her onto the floor.

NLR Mayor Hartwick likes to squeeze teenage girls "fat rolls" North Little Rock Mayor Terry Hartwick is no stranger to scandals.  When he was mayor back in the 1980's he was fooling around with a teenager that was working as an intern and spent hundreds of dollars on telephone calls talking to her when she was a student as the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His entanglement with that UAF student, Gina Fortenberry, caused his wife at the time to divorce him in 1987. Hartwick was almost 40 at that time. That scandal and another involving payoffs caused his trouncing defeat in the 1988 NLR mayoral election to Patrick Henry Hays (Hays received 63% of the votes to Hartwick's 37%). Here's the tea about Hartwick's entanglement with that teenage summer intern (from a interview in October 2000 of John Woodruff, who had been a reporter with the Arkansas Gazette that covered news in NLR). Let's jump back to the present time. The North Little Rock Chamber of ...
