MISSISSIPPI AGENCY ACCEPTS COMPLAINT ABOUT HAMLET AND IS CONDUCTING REVIEW OF HIS FILE FOR POSSIBLE ACTION

Robert Davis, the Director of the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, Office of Standards & Training has accepted a complaint regarding Boyce Hamlet and 60 pages of evidence in support of allegations that he provided false and misleading information to Arkansas and Mississippi law enforcement certification agencies.

Davis stated that any information received about Hamlet would be placed in his file with their agency and it is possible that information received could be used by the board there to revoke any certification Hamlet has in Mississippi.

Of particular concern to the Miss. DPS/OST is the omission by Hamlet on forms he submitted to them, under oath, that he was employed and terminated by the Arkansas State Police for cheating on an exam and subsequently lying multiple times to investigators from the Ark. State Police Special Investigation Unit.

On forms that Hamlet submitted when he was with the Miss. Department of Corrections and the Miss. Department of Wildlife, Fisheries & Parks, Hamlet was required to list any termination from employment.

Documents regarding Hamlet's employment with Mississippi state government agencies are not releasable under the Mississippi Freedom of Information Act, but we believe that Hamlet did not disclose that he was ever employed or terminated by the Arkansas State Police on documents submitted to Mississippi just like the ones he submitted to agencies in Arkansas (see previous stories - Previous Post 1; Previous Post 2).

A similar complaint was sent to the Arkansas Department of Finance & Administration last week (at their request) to consider possible actions, including termination of Hamlet's employment as ABC Enforcement Director.

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
