GILBERT BAKER PLEADS NOT GUILTY - COURT DATE SET FOR FAULKNER COUNTY ALCOHOL OPPONENT

GILBERT BAKER GETTING BOOKED AT CONWAY POLICE DEPARTMENT

Former state Sen. Gilbert Baker has pleaded innocent to driving while intoxicated and other charges.

Here are some videos of Baker's arrest for your viewing pleasure.

There is also another video, which is quite lengthy, that shows a drunk, obnoxious and argumentative Baker. Let's hope that the judge that hears Baker's case views it. No doubt the length of the video is a result of the time it took to get a search warrant signed by a judge to take Baker to the hospital for blood to be drawn.

Baker entered the plea through attorney Frank Shaw in a document filed Tuesday in Faulkner County District Court. Baker, 59, also is charged with refusal to take a breath test and driving left of center. He had been scheduled to enter a plea Oct. 3.

FRANK E. SHAW

Shaw had his own brush with the law back in 2013 when he was involved in a domestic disturbance.

A few months later someone vandalized Shaw's office. Hell hath no fury...

Apparently domestic issues were a reoccurring problem at the Shaw household as evidenced by this filing in October 2015:

Frank and Paige Shaw were divorced in February 2016.

And according to another court filing in August 2016, they are married again.

But Shaw was not wearing a wedding ring when photographed for an article that appeared in the Log Cabin Democrat in July 2016, just a month before the lawsuit concerning a leaky dishwasher was filed.

Shaw was also an unsuccessful candidate for the Arkansas House in 2014

2014 POLITICAL AD ABOUT SHAW

Seems like a good sort of guy to represent a guilty individual.

Back to Baker...

Baker, who was arrested Aug. 26 in Conway, is free on $1,395 bond.

For years, Baker fought efforts to allow Conway restaurants to sell alcoholic beverages. Faulkner County is dry, but many restaurants now are treated as private clubs and allowed to sell alcohol.

In a police report, Conway officers described Baker as "verbally belligerent and emotional" after they arrested him.

Baker initially told officers he had not had anything to drink. Later he told the Arkansas Democrat Gazette that he only had one or two margaritas at a Little Rock restaurant.

BAKER DOESN'T ALWAYS DRINK MARGARITAS, BUT WHEN HE DOES... HE GETS A DWI

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

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
