YOU WON'T FIND THE MUGSHOT OF PAUL ALLEN, A FORMER HSPD DETECTIVE POSTED ON THE HSPD FACEBOOK PAGE

A former Hot Springs police officer is accused of molesting a 9-year-old girl on multiple occasions beginning earlier this year.

The Sentinel-Recordin Hot Springs reported that Paul Henry Allen, 41, was arrested Wednesday by the Malvern Police Department and transported to Garland County, where he was taken into custody by sheriff’s deputies.
 


Allen resigned Tuesday from the Hot Springs Police Department, one day before his arrest on four counts of second-degree sexual assault, according to the Sentinel-Record.

 

Hot Springs Police Chief Jason Stachey said in a statement that the Garland County sheriff’s office and the Arkansas State Police's Crimes Against Children division continue to investigate the accusations "to ensure complete objectivity and transparency."

The reported sexual abuse started January 6, 2017 at a location in Garland County, according to the affidavit filed in Garland County District Court.

The girl told authorities that Allen on more than one occasion touched her inappropriately.

The Sentinel-Record, citing text messages reviewed by investigators, said Allen admitted to touching the girl's buttocks "four or five times." The former police officer also reportedly said he was "fucking sick" and "sorry for what he did," adding that he didn't want to go to prison.


GOOD LUCK TRYING TO GET A LOOK AT THE ACTUAL TEXT MESSAGE DUE TO A COURT RULING - THIS IS WHAT IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE

Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Joe Graham filed a motion on May 3rd to limit pretrial publicity.












District Judge Meredith Switzer Rebsamen subsequently issued a gag order.







Allen joined the Hot Springs Police Department in May 2005 and had achieved the rank of officer first class, according to the Sentinel-Record.

Garland County jail records show Allen was released on $10,000 bail. He is set to appear May 15th in District Court in Hot Springs.

Disgraced ex-LRPD cop and felon lied on her employment application to get job with Arkansas State Police

In 2009, Sheva Howard was a Little Rock cop. She began working at LRPD in 2001 as a Crime Scene Specialist and in 2003 she became a police officer. Howard also worked off-duty, in her LRPD uniform, at Dillard's until she was caught in an act of thievery.  Howard purchased one purse, but it was in a bag so heavy she had to drag it on the ground. That bag was later found to have multiple purses packed into another purse. That incident also ended her career as a cop and gained her a felony conviction.   The LRPD Internal Investigation file reads like a script from an episode of Law & Order.   Howard was found to be untruthful during the internal investigation.   Here's what the local newspaper published about her criminal trial. Howard's supervisor at Dillard's was Willie Robinson. It just so happened that Robinson was and is also an Arkansas State Trooper.   Howard tried to have her conviction overturned but the Arkansas Court of Appeals upheld her conviction.   After

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
