FORMER PROBATION OFFICER PLEDS GUILTY TO ABUSE OF POSITION FOR MONETARY GAIN

 
RODERICK DANIELS

Roderick Daniels, a former probation officer for the Arkansas Department of Community Correction entered a guilty plea in Federal Court earlier this year to charges that he used his position for financial gain by assisting a probationer avoid failing drug tests.

Daniels is to appear back in Federal Court on November 9, 2016 for sentencing.


Daniels took money from a probationer to help him avoid testing positive on drug tests that would have sent the probationer to jail.

Daniels noticed that the probationer, only identified in court documents as "S.N.",  had failed one drug test and before his next scheduled drug test, Daniels contacted him and asked him if he was going to pass the next test, the man told Daniels no.  Daniels told him that for a price, he would delay the test  until the drugs had cleared out of his system.

Daniels continued this process four more times and collected a total of $1,200.00 from the probationer.

Daniels faces up to five years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release and an fine of up to $250,00.  He will also have to repay the probationer the $1,200.

Roderick Daniels is the son of Carla Daniels who has stirred up a huge mess at the Arkansas Military Department.  CLICK HERE TO READ OUR POST ABOUT CARLA DANIELS

We asked the Arkansas Department of Community Correction for a comment and received no response.


DINA TYLER - DEPT. OF COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS

Tyler's agency did not recommend that Daniels be decertified as a specialized officer even though he was arrested prior to his "resignation".  
Why they would accept the resignation of an employee that had been under investigation for violating the law and their internal policies is beyond comprehension.

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. As we often say, the klan ALWAYS outs themselves. Kennedy was with the Bryant Police Department before joining the ASP in 2021. We sent the court filing to the ASP and asked f...
