ARKANSAS REAL ESTATE COMMISSION DIRECTOR GARY ISOM SOUGHT TO HAVE FAIR HOUSING COMMISSION DIRECTOR CAROL JOHNSON REMOVED TO KILL COMPLAINT FILED AGAINST HIS AGENCY

GARY ISOM - ARKANSAS REAL ESTATE COMMISSION DIRECTOR

At an October 9th meeting of the Arkansas Real Estate Commission (AREC"), agency director Gary Isom told board members of a complaint filed against his agency that was being investigated by the Arkansas Fair Housing Commission ("AFHC").

Isom told the board he questioned the jurisdiction of the AFHC to conduct such an investigation and said he might need to get a lawyer to represent the AREC.

Isom also told the board that unlike himself, who served at the pleasure of the AREC and reported to them, that AFHC Director Carol Johnson did not report to the AFHC and served at the pleasure of the Governor. Isom told board member that one possible solution to resolve the complaint was to get Johnson removed as director.

CAROL JOHNSON - ARKANSAS FAIR HOUSING COMMISSION DIRECTOR

In a meeting concerning the complaint and investigation, Johnson refuted Isom's assertion that her agency "lacked jurisdiction".

Word is that Johnson, who was at first ready to go after the AREC, has been told by the Governor's office to quash the investigation and Johnson has asked the complainant to drop the complaint.

We have a series of posts coming up shortly about Isom and the AREC that will bring to light some of their shenanigans.

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
