ABC DIRECTOR'S BADGE FOR SALE



Has Bud listed his badge for sale? Has a former director hit hard times and needs a little quick cash?  We don't know what the story is behind this but this badge has a opening bid of $1.00 on FVStore.com.

The listing states:

Used :  Director Arkansas ABC badge #1. Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control Shield. An item that has been used previously. 

“Very good condition, with a little wear to the finish here and there visible only on close inspection, and a very small area of verdigris on the badge tip which should clean off. See listing for more details.”

You are bidding on a vintage Arkansas Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (A.B.C.) badge in its original leather case. This is an especially scarce director's badge, numbered 1. It's made from thick gold tone metal and measures 1.5" x 1". The badge reads:

DIRECTOR
ARK. DEPT.
A.B.C.
1

and has a detailed shield emblem in the center. The reverse is unmarked. It closes with a rollover clasp. The shield is in very good condition, with a little wear to the finish here and there visible only on close inspection, and a very small area of verdigris on the badge tip. This should clean off easily with a soft brush and some water. I did not notice it until after I'd taken photographs. The metal does not appear to be compromised in any way.

The leather case snaps closed and measures 2" x 1-5/8". Over the years, it has conformed the shape of the badge and developed some light wear. It has a couple of small spots of verdigris on the inside.

The Bryant Police Department confirms an on-going investigation of a now former Bryant teacher, Heather Danielle (Hall) Hare. Hare (age 32) has been accused of sexual contact with a student.  Hare was featured on ABC Good Morning America in May 2020 when a course she taught was discontinued during the pandemic. At this point no details of the alleged illegal conduct have been released. Earlier today the school district posted this on a Bryant Schools Facebook page. According to on-line school board records, Hare submitted her resignation effective April 1, 2023.     Hare is married and is a resident of Conway, AR. KATV featured the Hare family in another story on October 31, 2022. Stay tuned for updates.

ASP Trooper Jacob Haynie caught on his own mobile video recordings using the N-word

On November 21, 2023, after one of those questionable PIT maneuvers (the ASP now calls  Precision Immobilization Technique , or PIT maneuvers, Tactical Vehicle Intervention or TVI) ASP rookie trooper and former Hope Arkansas cop Jacob Haynie was caught on his and other ASP mobile video recordings using profanity and the N-word.   ASP policy prohibits the behavior and words Trooper Haynie uttered. That same policy also prohibits actions and behaviors that reflect unfavorably on the ASP. Haynie's wife works at the Hempstead County Assessors office. Wonder if she uses that language at work too?  ### The full videos can be viewed on many of the YouTube Channels that feature ASP videos.  A follower of one channel identifies Haynie as the one uttering the words. Apparently that individual knows Haynie and might have worked with him at Hope PD. ASP claims no one said the words "climb" or "N***a" and the trooper using the fowl language was actually Tyler Gentry. Ri

Three LRPD cops "relieved of duty" over incident at Club Trois

Sources at LRPD have confirmed a tip we received that three LRPD cops, Brad Stewart, Lee Pitts and Justin Sims have been "relieved of duty" in connection with an incident at Club Trois. The story we were told is that Stewart was working off-duty at Club Trois and dealt with an inebriated female club patron by soaking her with pepper spray.  LRPD General Order  ("G.O.") 303 requires that a cop that uses physical force, non-lethal control and compliance devices, on or off-duty, follow certain procedures. Use of pepper spray is a Level 4 event. Here are the specific procedures. LRPD sources tell us that they are trained to call MEMS after they use pepper spray or a taser on an individual. They are to file an incident report and they file an officer's report or letter form (5600-2) with their immediate supervisor for each use of force incident. Here's an example of an officer letter form.   Not a single procedure was followed in this incident. And to make matter
