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.

  A video of a part-time Dover, AR city marshal threatening a local business that went viral on social media, resulted in his termination of employment on October 1st.   Here's the video.

Rumors about meth pipes and the 479 Smoke Shop.   According to records obtained from the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards & Training ("CLEST"), Jones previously worked part-time for the Dover Marshal's Office from October 26, 2007 through January 2, 2009.   Jones was also elected in 2023 as the Martin Township Constable and held that position under he lost to Ricky "Perch" Parks in 2025.   Don't worry about Jones losing his part-time job.

ASP Trooper Michael Austin Kennedy exposed as a racist in text messages to estranged wife.

Thanks to a tipster, we were able to obtain public records that expose Arkansas State Police Trooper Michael Austin Kennedy as a racist. Records filed in the divorce proceedings Kennedy's wife has filed give shocking information what Trooper Kennedy thinks about People of Color. In amended filings, Trooper Kennedy's estranged wife states that he is a white supremacist and fears for the safety of their children. And it's no surprise that Trooper Kennedy is a registered Republican. Have the racist views expressed by Trooper Kennedy influenced his actions as a law enforcement officer?  Has Trooper Kennedy PIT maneuvered People of Color to try and kill them to rid his racist white Christian world of folks he considers inferior?  The ASP administration thinks Trooper Kennedy is roll model for their agency. As we often say, the klan ALWAYS outs themselves. Kennedy was with the Bryant Police Department before joining the ASP in 2021. We sent the court filing to the ASP and asked f...
