LITTLE ROCK, AR - According to police and court records obtained by BGA via a FOI request, controversial political candidate Roderick Greer Talley has been accused of rape.

According to court filing for an Order of Protection by the sexual assault victim, Talley passed on a sexually transmitted disease during the alleged rape which required hospitalization of the victim.

Based of the victim's petition and affidavit, Pulaski County Circuit Court Judge Mike Reif issued a Temporary Order of Protection effective until June 22, 2020 when a hearing will be held.

Judge Mike Reif

Talley has a history of similar cases and of violating Orders of Protection.

On February 7, 2020, he was found guilty of violating an Order of Protection and received a one year suspended sentence, a $250 fine and $205 court costs and was ordered to have no contact with the victim in that case.

The fact that yet another petition for and Order of Protection has been filed against Talley could result in the District Court imposing its original sentence and sending him to prison for a year.

Talley has appealed that District Court case.

Talley still has open criminal court cases for forgery, escape, theft of property, aggravated assault and battery - all serious felonies - in Cross County.

Talley's mugshot when he surrendered for the escape and assault charges

Talley gained some limited notoriety over the no-knock raids LRPD conducted using a confidential informant ("CI") that provided false information to undercover LRPD cops that allowed them to get the no-knock warrants.

Talley engaged the services of a sketchy lawyer that isn't even licensed to practice in the State of Arkansas. That lawyer dropped him like a hot potato around the time this video was released.

Check back for an update on or after June 22nd.

LRSD investigation file of Kendahl Davenport's entanglement with student leaves more questions than answers

An "unprofessional" relationship between a Parkview student, Justin Lanier and a teacher Kendahl Davenport was the talk of the town this week ________ We were contacted by a LRSD employee/whistleblower over the weekend and broke this story on April 13, 2026 at 7:43 a.m. Other media outlets saw our post and scrambled to catch up. Our post about this on social media and other news outlet regurgitating it sent LRSD into a tailspin and the superintendent issued a statement. LRSD attempted to spin the story with little success. We submitted AFOIA requests to LRSD for copies of personnel files and records regarding applicants for the position that Davenport was hired to fill. Other news outlets continued to post stories. And they specifically referenced our April 13th social media post that broke the story and indicated that it going viral was problematic for the school district. Unrelenting pressure on LRSD from news media and citizens forced the superintendent to issue another s...
