UPDATE - LRPD cop that heads their FOI unit wrecks car and is arrested for DWI

In the early morning hours of December 3, 2021, LRPD cop Michael "Lil Bang" Ford, Jr. was involved in a single vehicle crash on I-430 North just past the Rodney Parham exit.

When Arkansas State Police Troopers Andrew Stovall and Jerry Oglesby arrived at the scene, they found Ford's SUV lodged against the wire guardrail in the median.

According to the incident report, Ford was trapped in the vehicle and was trying to open the door that was up against the wire guardrail.

One of the troopers found the rear hatch door of the SUV would open and after a bit of coaxing was able to get Ford to crawl out the back hatch.

Ford had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and reeked of booze.

Trooper Stovall did not place Ford at the front of his vehicle as is standard ASP procedure (you can check out videos we have on our YouTube channel of some DWI arrests of the Governor's Son, Asa III).

Additionally, Ford was not taken to the Pulaski County Jail for booking (fingerprint and mugshot) and held until he sobered up. Instead he was taken to Troop "A" headquarters and released to a family member.

ASP has only released video footage from the second trooper to arrive at the scene.

Ford was only cited and given a court date.

This is not the first time Ford has been in hot water. We broke the story back in January 2020 when on New Year's Eve gunfire erupted at Ford's residence in Maumelle, AR riddling the air with bullets. Ford was drunk and told Maumelle Police to fuck off and refused to identify himself. You can read that post by clicking here.

An internal investigation branded Ford a liar. You can read that post by clicking here.

All he got was a slap on the wrist because he is a first string member of problematic LRPD Chief Humphrey's insider team.

This appears to be Lil Bang's first DWI charge, although his daddy and former LRPD cop Michael Ford, Sr. has several.

Stay tuned for updates.

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
