ABC ENFORCEMENT DIRECTOR BOYCE HAMLET WAS FIRED BY ARKANSAS STATE POLICE FOR MISCONDUCT

In June 2000 Boyce Hamlet was selected to be an Arkansas State Trooper.

Hamlet had most recently worked at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff in the Campus Police Department and this was a big step in his law enforcement career.

So in July 2000 Hamlet begins the rigorous training regimen and things go well for the first month.

Then in August things go south for Hamlet. Hamlet is caught cheating on a weekly exam and then lies to investigators in the Arkansas State Police Special Investigations Unit. And it wasn't just one little lie he told SIU investigators, it was multiple lies.

Hamlet's actions sullied his reputation and if he was a certified law enforcement officer at the time he should have lost his certification. This type of behavior is the antithesis of the good character behavior that the minimum standards require.

We asked Hamlet to comment on this matter and he has refused to respond.

Mum's the word!

Governor Hutchinson needs to get rid of the riffraff at the ABC. Having employees like Hamlet places the agencies credibility at stake and weakens the public confidence in our state government, especially at the Arkansas Department of Finance & Administration and the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division.

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.

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
