LRPD SGT. STEVEN MONTGOMERY ARRESTED FOR AGGRAVATED ASSAULT

LRPD tried to keep this below the radar, but yet another of their officers has been suspended pending the outcome of a criminal case for aggravated assault, a Class D felony. Details are sketchy at this time, but according to sources Montgomery was arrested by Benton Police on Tuesday, May 28th. We have requested records from Benton PD and Saline County and will provide updates are more information becomes available. We found that he has an open divorce case in Saline County. Could this be another instance of LRPD officers committing domestic violence on females? We have recently posted about several LRPD officers that have been charged with criminal offenses.  Chief Keef has his hands full and has little background for dealing with problems like this.

ABC ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR BLASTS THROUGH CONSTRUCTION AREA ON I-630 - TRIES TO DITCH DOT HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER

ABC ADMINISTRATIVE DIRECTOR AND SCOFFLAW DORALEE CHANDLER On May 28th, Arkansas DOT Highway Patrol Officer Latonieo Lawson was on I-630 in the construction zone near the John Barrow Road exit watching for speeders. DOT has big flashing signs that indicate that the speed limit is 50 mph in the construction zone. Officer Lawson clocked a vehicle going 70 mph.  He gave chase. The driver of the vehicle, seeing the flashing blue lights attempted to evade capture by making some Grand Theft Auto like moves. It didn't work. Here's a narrative from the citation Lawson issued to the driver of the reckless, speeding vehicle, none other that ABC Administrative Director Doralee Chandler. DOT HIGHWAY PATROLMAN LATONIEO LAWSON Chandler was cited and charged with speeding and careless and prohibited driving. It's not the first time Chandler has been cited for shady driving. Back in 2004 she was charged with crossing a median. She used white privilege and being a lawyer with connections to

RECORDS SHOW THAT MAYOR SCOTT LIED ABOUT PAYMENT TO FIRM CONNECTED TO A STAFF MEMBER

IN APRIL MAYOR SCOTT  SAID THIS RECORD DID NOT EXIST WHEN WE SENT A FOI REQUEST FOR IT For someone that campaigned on transparency, our autocratic, feckless and frightened mayor has proved that was all talk.   "I AM THE CEO AND CUSTODIAN OF RECORDS FOR THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK" The latest proof of that came to light this week. In a response to this FOI request... Scott provided a response and we were surprised to the purchase order that was for the Critical Incident video. We were surprised because we made a verbal FOI request back on April 9th seeking records regarding the cost to the city for the critical incident video (for the police shooting in late February) that was produced by the marketing company, The Design Group, which Mayor Scott stated he used during his campaign for office. The city via it's FOI coordinator,  sent a response later that same day "Per the custodian there are no such records responsive to this request". Mayor Frank Scott is the offici
