Monetary gifts such as this are prohibited by Arkansas law |
Twenty-six Little Rock cops, including one unidentified undercover cop, violated Arkansas Code Annotated §
21-8-801 (a) by accepting a check for $108 for doing what they are paid to do. First Community Bank Little Rock Area President Rene Julian violated Arkansas Code Annotated §
21-8-801 (b) by making the illegal gifts.

Our publisher filed a complaint with the Arkansas Ethic Commission.
He also filed a complaint with the Little Rock Police Internal Affairs Unit.
LRPD also has a policy about accepting such gifts.

Arkansas laws prohibit gifts valued over $100.00.
Did the bank give out these illegal gifts to try and influence the cops to work on cases that involved the bank or to open an account with them?
