TWO DAYS AFTER WARRANT ISSUED, SALINE COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT JUDGE BOBBY MCCALLISTER TURNS HIMSELF IN AND IS BOOKED AND RELEASED

MUGSHOT OF JUDGE BOBBY MCCALLISTER  - GOT OUT OF JAIL FREE

Judge Bobby "The Dodger" McCallister surrendered to state authorities Thursday afternoon, nearly two days after he was charged with felony tax evasion. 

McCallister was enjoying a trip paid for by the taxpayers to Washington, D.C., to attend a training conference hosted by the National Association of Drug Court Professionals, when he learned that a warrant had been issued for his arrest.

Don't you know he was the topic of discussion by other attendees at the conference when the news of the charges and warrant hit the news.

According to David Gibbons, the specially appointed prosecutor who filed the charges Tuesday, Bobby McCallister was booked at the Saline County jail about 3:20 p.m. and later released on his own recognizance.

McCallister, a 52-year-old Saline County Circuit Court judge, was charged with failing to file or pay state income tax returns in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016. Each of the four felony counts carries a possible sentence of six years in prison and a $10,000 fine. 

The IRS has filed liens on everything McCallister owns as he owes them almost $200K in unpaid Federal Income Taxes and penalties.

ASP Trooper Jacob Haynie caught on his own mobile video recordings using the N-word

On November 21, 2023, after one of those questionable PIT maneuvers (the ASP now calls  Precision Immobilization Technique , or PIT maneuvers, Tactical Vehicle Intervention or TVI) ASP rookie trooper and former Hope Arkansas cop Jacob Haynie was caught on his and other ASP mobile video recordings using profanity and the N-word.   ASP policy prohibits the behavior and words Trooper Haynie uttered. That same policy also prohibits actions and behaviors that reflect unfavorably on the ASP. Haynie's wife works at the Hempstead County Assessors office. Wonder if she uses that language at work too?  ### The full videos can be viewed on many of the YouTube Channels that feature ASP videos.  A follower of one channel identifies Haynie as the one uttering the words. Apparently that individual knows Haynie and might have worked with him at Hope PD. ASP claims no one said the words "climb" or "N***a" and the trooper using the fowl language was actually Tyler Gentry. Ri

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
