MORE EVIDENCE THAT ABC IS HARASSING PIC-PAC LIQUOR IN LITTLE ROCK

In a previous post we elaborated on how tainted ABC Enforcement Director Boyce Hamlet was trying to manufacture a case against Pic-Pac Liquor on 12th Street.




A recently obtained document shows that Hamlet has a hard-on for this permit holder and is ordering his agents to go by the outlet twice a day and look for trash and loiters.

 

As pointed out in our previous post, Little Rock police say loitering is a problem near 12th Street and Peyton and make the usual excuses about them being too busy dealing with violent crime and not having enough officers.  However, they do have time to send officers to out of town funerals and ceremonies.

"There's a lot of businesses in that area that attract a lot of people," said Officer Richard Hilgeman. Hilgeman says that the department is stretched thin right now, and violent crimes take priority.

“When we have a loitering problem we try to hit that area as much as we can, however loitering is not a higher priority call.

How is the ABC going to determine that the trash in that strip mall was placed there by the owner or employees of Pic-Pac?  Or that individuals standing in the parking lot are not waiting for the bus?

In fact, the photo of the strip mall in this post show a lot of trash in the parking lot, most of it in front of the K-W Food Mart, with almost none in front of Pic-Pac.

In response to a Freedom of information request we made to the ABC for valid complaints about Pic-Pac for the last two years, the ABC could only provide one document for a violation, and it was from an entrapment operation on May 6, 2016 where the ABC violated A.C.A. § 3-3-203 by using minors to try and purchase alcoholic beverages.  

One violation in the last two years certainly makes this a dangerous outlet.   

If the ABC wants to find an outlet being a bad neighbor, they need to stake out the 1836 Club and watch who staggers out; gets behind the wheel; and races off west on Cantrell.

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

Pulaski County Department headed by State Senator Fred Love is in trouble.

By Russ Racop On July 31st we broke the story that there was an internal investigation afoot at the Pulaski County office of Community Services.   A recipient of Section 8 HVC vouchers contacted us on that same day for assistance and we began our investigation.   Her landlord contacted her and told her she had three days to get out of her apartment because she had fraudulently obtained assistance.    The landlord had been contacted by Love's staff before she had. She didn't understand what was going on because she just moved into the apartment and had been vetted and approved for assistance by Love's department. It's not the first time someone has reached out to us about Fred Love and that county department.  Love also serves in the state legislature as a Senator. We have received allegations and some records about sexual and workplace harassment, malfeasance and misuse of county resources involving Love. We immediately called the number listed on that rent payment noti
