Maumelle High School teacher Stephanie Almand facing charges for sexual relationship with student


 Russ Racop - May 10, 2021


Last Friday, May 7th,  mainstream media outlets reported about a 28 year old female teacher at Maumelle High school at was reportedly involved in an illegal sexual relationship with a male student under the age of 18. None of these media outlets would name the teacher.

 


    

Why these main stream news outlets lacked the courage to name the teacher is a question you will have to ask them.

The allegations made against her and her name is public information (and are public records) and we have the courage and the obligation to post those them.

This is not the first time a teacher at Maumelle High School has been caught having sex with a student. 


That teacher caught a five year prison sentence.


We were the first media outlet to name her and did so in our Weekly Update yesterday.


We obtained the Maumelle Police Department Incident Report regarding the sex crime.






The alleged sex crime is reported to have occurred at Almand's residence in Little Rock.


Almand had a child out-of-wedlock in 2018.



 

Almand was represented in the paternity suit by her father, William Gregg Almand.


We suspect that based on these allegations, the child's father has a very good chance of obtaining custody.

Observant readers will have noticed that in the police report her victim mentioned Almand having left a teaching job in Texas due to a similar allegations there.

We have requested records from the Texas Education Agency and Texas law enforcement agencies.

Stay tuned for updates.

UPDATE: 5/10/21 6:00PM 

We have received several messages that suggest we FOI records from eStem.  The reports are that there were constant rumors about her doing the same thing there.  

UPDATE: 5/11/21 4:00PM 

According to records reluctantly released by PCSSD, the accused sex criminal Almand only has a provisional teaching license.




 


PCSSD omitted her application for employment and we made a second request for that record as well as any complaints filed against her.


UPDATE: 5/13/21 12:36PM

PCSSD gave up Almand's application for employment without much of a tussle.



 
 
UPDATE: 5/17/21 10:34AM
 
eStem after initially refusing to take a verbal FOI request, decided to avoid a court hearing over AFOIA Denial of Rights, provided Almand's records.
 
 
A former co-worker at eStem sent us this message about Almand. 
 

  
UPDATE: 5/19/21 11:42AM
 
Looks like she is downsizing and preparing for some jail time.

Disgraced ex-LRPD cop and felon lied on her employment application to get job with Arkansas State Police

In 2009, Sheva Howard was a Little Rock cop. She began working at LRPD in 2001 as a Crime Scene Specialist and in 2003 she became a police officer. Howard also worked off-duty, in her LRPD uniform, at Dillard's until she was caught in an act of thievery.  Howard purchased one purse, but it was in a bag so heavy she had to drag it on the ground. That bag was later found to have multiple purses packed into another purse. That incident also ended her career as a cop and gained her a felony conviction.   The LRPD Internal Investigation file reads like a script from an episode of Law & Order.   Howard was found to be untruthful during the internal investigation.   Here's what the local newspaper published about her criminal trial. Howard's supervisor at Dillard's was Willie Robinson. It just so happened that Robinson was and is also an Arkansas State Trooper.   Howard tried to have her conviction overturned but the Arkansas Court of Appeals upheld her conviction.   After

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
