Where do LRPD take-home vehicles go? Episode 54: Officer Sarah Rachel Hicks



LRPD officer Sarah Rachel Hicks drives an unmarked vehicle home


Hicks is one of the mercenary officers that LRPD and the city claims to live in Little Rock simply because she has a Little Rock mailing address.

Hicks does not reside within the city limits of Little Rock as her voter registration details - she cannot vote in any city elections.



 Taxes from her personal property do not fund her salary or city public schools.



As you can see, Hicks uses her city of Little Rock email address for personal business. You can be sure that we have requested copies of her emails and attachments.

Hicks drives an unmarked, leased vehicle to and from work/home and LRPD has refused to provide fuel costs for her vehicle.

LRPD and the city of Little Rock refused to provide us information regarding the city where the take-home cars go. So much for being transparent and open.

They provided it last year and you can read our post about that by clicking here.
 
Since they refuse to provide the information (the take home city is what we requested), we will post where these vehicles are actually going (their address which was not requested and is exempt under the AFOIA) and how much we pay for the fuel to provide transportation for these officers to drive to and from their homes each day.

More than half of all LRPD officers refuse to live in the city of Little Rock and be a true part of our community. Those are mercenary officers.

Most all of the LRPD take-home vehicles go to homes outside of Little Rock.

Figures from 2018 as LRPD refused to provide this information this year


Many LRPD officers that have take-home vehicles use them to drive to and from off-duty jobs where they moonlight at security for merchants and direct traffic at churches on Sundays.

We believe this violates certain state laws and will be filing complaints with the Arkansas Ethics Commission concerning this illegal activity.


All the information used in this post is public information, readily available from the Internet or from a Freedom of Information Request.   We used the interwebs in this instance.

### 

Hick's is currently involved in a civil lawsuit that centers around her filing a false report and lying in a hearing.


  
Hicks was, and probably still is, involved in a nasty custody battle with another LRPD officer, Tabitha McCrillis-Carter-Gurley (one of the officers involved in the homicide of Eugene Ellison).



They were once in a "domestic partnership" but that went sour and they parted.

That case wound up going to the appeals court.







Stay tuned for updates about that civil case.

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

Pulaski County Department headed by State Senator Fred Love is in trouble.

By Russ Racop On July 31st we broke the story that there was an internal investigation afoot at the Pulaski County office of Community Services.   A recipient of Section 8 HVC vouchers contacted us on that same day for assistance and we began our investigation.   Her landlord contacted her and told her she had three days to get out of her apartment because she had fraudulently obtained assistance.    The landlord had been contacted by Love's staff before she had. She didn't understand what was going on because she just moved into the apartment and had been vetted and approved for assistance by Love's department. It's not the first time someone has reached out to us about Fred Love and that county department.  Love also serves in the state legislature as a Senator. We have received allegations and some records about sexual and workplace harassment, malfeasance and misuse of county resources involving Love. We immediately called the number listed on that rent payment noti
