Snarky Media Report

An "unprofessional" relationship between a Parkview student, Justin Lanier and a teacher Kendahl Davenport was the talk of the town this week  ________ We were contacted by a LRSD employee/whistleblower over the weekend and broke this story on April 13, 2026 at 7:43 a.m. Other media outlets saw our post and scrambled to catch up. Our post about this on social media and other news outlet regurgitating it sent LRSD into a tailspin and the superintendent issued a statement. LRSD attempted to spin the story with little success. We submitted AFOIA requests to LRSD for copies of personnel files and records regarding applicants for the position that Davenport was hired to fill. Other news outlets continued to post stories. And they specifically referenced our April 13th social media post that broke the story and indicated that it going viral was problematic for the school district. Unrelenting pressure on LRSD from news media and citizens forced the superintendent to issue another s...

Pulaski County Deputy Sheriff Justin Paradise   A tipster reached out to us Sunday night and provided us with this information. 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 name of the deputy involved was not provided so we followed up our first AFOIA request with a demand for the actual incident report. PCSO complied and provided this: According to records from the Pulaski County Assessor's website, the home where Deputy Paradise resides is owned by his mother. Voter records reveal that his father is registered to vote at that address as well. Paradise was suspended for 36 hours in March of 2026 after an internal investigation was conducted into a complaint from a female that worked at a Little Rock business concerning harassment (of a unwel...

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. Bordeaux, on his Corruption Sucks Blog , published a series of articles about "Freak" Norman.  We published a couple as well. https://www.smr.snarkymedia.com/2025/09/nlrpd-cop-tommy-norman-arrested-for.html https://www.smr.snarkymedia.com/2025/10/10-thin...

In December 2025, Cox resigned and accepted a position at the University of Arkansas - Little Rock. Subsequently, Zoo Director Susan Altrui took over as acting manager in January 2...
