THIRSTY THURSDAY TIDBITS

Eric Harrison with the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports that Donnie Ferneau, Jr. has had enough of the 1836 Club and is leaving to open a new joint possibly in the Pulaski Heights area of Little Rock.

DONNIE FERNEAU, JR. - NO LONGER COOKING UP EATS AT 1836 CLUB



Readers will recall the many posts we made about the 1836 Club and the sketchy history of the individuals that were involved in organization and daily operations of the entity.

 
CAMP, HUTCHINSON AND DAMON







We posted our opinion that tainted ABC Enforcement Director Boyce Hamlet would be extremely reluctant to have his agents to conduct any compliance operations at the 1836 Club.

We have asked the Department of Finance & Administration  and the ABC for documents regarding compliance operations conducted at the club.

Look for an update next week.

Also in the news are reports that State Senator Scott Flippo (R) is not finished with his efforts to limit ABC Enforcement's powers related to gaming devices.

Readers will recall that Governor Hutchinson vetoed the bill passed by the legislature that limited ABC Enforcement powers.

A source inside the ABC told us yesterday that Hooter's of Arkansas had filed an application for a permit for a new location in Little Rock near Dave & Buster's near the I-30/430 interchange. No doubt tainted ABC Enforcement Director Boyce Hamlet will take charge of the application investigation himself.

By the time of their first anniversary, their marriage was in shambles and Callie was estranged from her family all due to this man, Arkansas State Police Trooper Billy Mitchell Martin. Martin joined the ASP as a recruit in January of 2007. Records from his personnel file indicate he was from Boone County and he was posted there after graduating troop school.   Martin was promoted to Trooper First Class in July 2011 and Corporal in July 2014. In late 2019 and early 2020, Martin tried to get transferred to a Criminal Investigation position in Boone County but was unsuccessful.

Lacey K-8 Academy.  This is his self-published biography.  We were made aware of the incident after seeing her post on social media.   After the incident the victim made a police report with the North Little Rock Police Department that provided the same information.
