LRPD MAKES LITTLE PROGRESS IN SOLVING TRIPLE HOMICIDE - RELEASES STATEMENT AFTER OUR REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

A MONTH LATER AND LRPD HAS MADE LITTLE PROGRESS IN SOLVING TRIPLE HOMICIDE

Other than two trips to Chicago to speak with a person of interest being held on unrelated charges in the Cook County jail, Little Rock Police have made little progress in solving the December 5th murders of Moriah Cunningham and two of her children, A'laylaih and Elijah Fisher.

On December 30th, we sent this request for comments to last term mayor Mark Stodola:

As usual, Stodola refused to reply.

We also sent a FOI request for travel reimbursement for LRPD officers for the month of December and the records reveal that detectives made two trips to Chicago.

You can view the documents LRPD provided by clicking here.

Detectives Terry McDaniel and Matthew Hoffine traveled there on December 8th and McDaniel traveled there again on December 19th.

McDaniel is known for his use of deadly force on two occasions. You can read about those incidents by clicking here and here.

After our request for comments from Stodola and the travel records from LRPD,

LRPD released a statement confirming that detectives had been to Chicago to talk with a "person of interest".

Back in December, after activists and community leaders held a prayer vigil and city leaders were blasted for lack of concern.

Then when city leadership chose to watch the launching of the U.S.S. Little Rock at the Ron Robinson Theater instead of attending the funeral for the murdered family, city leaders were blasted again.

To show that they cared, the reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction was increased to $50,000 from the standard $10,000.

Community leaders banned together to plea for witnesses to step up and provide information to LRPD. Again city leadership was nowhere to be found.

As community leaders and activist have stated, would these murders not have been solved by now if they had occurred in West Little Rock or the victims had been white?

Those are good questions and ones that need to be discussed.

The Bryant Police Department confirms an on-going investigation of a now former Bryant teacher, Heather Danielle (Hall) Hare. Hare (age 32) has been accused of sexual contact with a student. Hare was featured on ABC Good Morning America in May 2020 when a course she taught was discontinued during the pandemic. At this point no details of the alleged illegal conduct have been released. Earlier today the school district posted this on a Bryant Schools Facebook page. According to on-line school board records, Hare submitted her resignation effective April 1, 2023. Hare is married and is a resident of Conway, AR. KATV featured the Hare family in another story on October 31, 2022. Stay tuned for updates.

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
