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

We will also see if the ABC goes after the outlet that over-served Baker.

Fired Dover City Marshal Nathan Jones Accused of Exploiting Dying Man to Take Control of His Estate

A video of a part-time Dover, AR city marshal threatening a local business that went viral on social media, resulted in his termination of employment on October 1st. Here's the video. Apparently Jones was the subject of rumors in the town. Rumors about meth pipes and the 479 Smoke Shop. According to records obtained from the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards & Training ("CLEST"), Jones previously worked part-time for the Dover Marshal's Office from October 26, 2007 through January 2, 2009.

Koester, 64 years old, who had cancer and had been in hospice after sufferin...

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...
