TALK BUSINESS & POLITICS RUNS STORY ON HAMLET RECORDS CONSPIRACY

COOK

Michael Cook, a political writer for Cook's Outlook and content partner for Talk Business & Politics (produced by KATV), first thought after reading Arkansas Attorney's General Leslie Rutledge's argument in her opinion that decided that the Arkansas State Police should not release Hamlet's records was "is this a joke?"

Cook states that he believes that Rutledge is simply covering up for Hutchinson's appointment of Hamlet to avoid embarrassing the Arkansas governor.

Cook goes on to say that "the public has a right to know for certain if the head of the ABC enforcement is someone who can be trusted, and his past firing from the Arkansas State Police raises serious doubts."

Disgraced ex-LRPD cop and felon lied on her employment application to get job with Arkansas State Police

In 2009, Sheva Howard was a Little Rock cop. She began working at LRPD in 2001 as a Crime Scene Specialist and in 2003 she became a police officer. Howard also worked off-duty, in her LRPD uniform, at Dillard's until she was caught in an act of thievery. Howard purchased one purse, but it was in a bag so heavy she had to drag it on the ground. That bag was later found to have multiple purses packed into another purse. That incident also ended her career as a cop and gained her a felony conviction. The LRPD Internal Investigation file reads like a script from an episode of Law & Order. Howard was found to be untruthful during the internal investigation. Here's what the local newspaper published about her criminal trial. Howard's supervisor at Dillard's was Willie Robinson. It just so happened that Robinson was and is also an Arkansas State Trooper. Howard tried to have her conviction overturned but the Arkansas Court of Appeals upheld her conviction. After

Three LRPD cops "relieved of duty" over 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.
