ANOTHER FOI LAWSUIT FILED INVOLVING RECORDS RELATED TO ABC ENFORCEMENT DIRECTOR BOYCE HAMLET, JR.

CODY HILAND


A lawsuit has been filed against Cody Hiland, the 20th Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney and former boss of tainted ABC Enforcement Director Boyce Hamlet, Jr. for his blatant refusal to comply with the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.

Also named as a co-defendant is Hiland's office administrator, Sirena Moix. 

MOIX (ON RIGHT)

The lawsuit covers five FOI requests made from July 12, 2015 through January 7, 2016 that Hiland refused to provide a response. 

The FOI requests mostly dealt with information relating to or connected with Boyce Hamlet, Jr., a former employee of Hiland.

All of the information requested is releasable under the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act and Hiland has placed himself in a dangerous position by refusing to comply with the law.

Failure to respond to a FOI request can result in criminal charges and jail time.

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.
