PROSECUTOR HAS DOUBLE STANDARD FOR DEALING WITH BOYCE HAMLET



20th Judicial District Prosecuting Attorney Cody Hiland has a double standard for tainted ABC Enforcement Director and former employee Boyce Hamlet and other law enforcement officers that have issues with telling the honesty and credibility.

In a letter Hiland sent to Mayflower Police Chief Robert Alcon dated Aug. 22, 2014, Prosecuting Attorney Cody Hiland said his office would no longer accept felony case submissions from an officer that had issues with credibility.

“When someone withholds what we consider exculpatory, that’s huge in the prosecutorial world,” the letter reads.

This blog undercovered Boyce Hamlet's attempt to hide and coverup his hiring and firing from the Arkansas State Police for cheating on an exam and then lying multiple times to ASP special investigators.  We also found that Hamlet  provided false information to Hiland when he applied for a job. 

Hiland  failed to make the required statutory inquiry to the Arkansas Commission for Law Enforcement Training and Standards to see why Hamlet left employment with previous law enforcement agencies in Arkansas and hired Hamlet, who had documented issues with honesty and credibility.

Law enforcement officers that have issues with credibility and honesty are considered Brady Officers. Prosecutors have a legal obligation to notify criminal defendants about officers that are Brady Officers. 

Usually classification as a Brady Officer is a death penalty for a career in law enforcement. In Hamlet's case no one seems to give a crap.  

So we are suing Halmet and his employer, the Department of Finance and Administration using a little known provision in the Arkansas Constitution.

If our lawsuit is successful, Hamlet will lose his job and have to pay back all funds he has received as salary for a position for which he does not even meet the minimum qualifications. And DFA knew he didn't meet them or sure as hell should have known that he didn't.

Stay tuned for more information.

LRSD investigation file of Kendahl Davenport's entanglement with student leaves more questions than answers

An "unprofessional" relationship between a Parkview student, Justin Lanier and a teacher Kendahl Davenport was the talk of the town this week  ________ We were contacted by a LRSD employee/whistleblower over the weekend and broke this story on April 13, 2026 at 7:43 a.m. Other media outlets saw our post and scrambled to catch up. Our post about this on social media and other news outlet regurgitating it sent LRSD into a tailspin and the superintendent issued a statement. LRSD attempted to spin the story with little success. We submitted AFOIA requests to LRSD for copies of personnel files and records regarding applicants for the position that Davenport was hired to fill. Other news outlets continued to post stories. And they specifically referenced our April 13th social media post that broke the story and indicated that it going viral was problematic for the school district. Unrelenting pressure on LRSD from news media and citizens forced the superintendent to issue another s...
