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.

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...
