Shitstorm at Little Rock city hall over LITfest records intensifies

Earlier this week the feckless Little Rock mayor tried to get the city board of directors to fire the city attorney, Tom Carpenter for allegedly using racial slurs.

That didn't work out so well for him.

Someone at LR city hall leaked out to a KATV reporter (one that is known to support the feckless mayor and the former corrupt police chief) a memorandum that Stacey Witherell, the Chief People Officer, a/k/a Human Resources Director sent to the feckless mayor and the city manager alleging misconduct of the city attorney.

KATV did not show the full memorandum, only a small screenshot of it.

But that screenshot is telling, in that it shows a hyperlink to the city website, indicating an electronic copy of the memorandum was forwarded to the KATV reporter.

We have sent a FOI request to dig into revealing the source of the leak and will follow up on that at a later date.

The leak happened conveniently after the feckless mayor's attempt to get rid of the city attorney failed.

Now, as it always happens, the culprits always reveal themselves and we know who initiated the complaint, city employee Samantha R. Wilson.

Samantha "Sam" Wilson

Wilson, via her attorney, shyster Marion Humphrey, Jr.,sent a statement directly to the feckless mayor and board of directors.

Marion Jr. and his father, retired Judge Marion Humphrey are fanatical supporters of the feckless mayor and of the former corrupt police chief. The one that "retired" during an internal and criminal investigation of his gunplay on News Year's Eve 2021.

Wilson had her license to practice law suspended for non-payment of dues.

That's probably why she is now working at a dead-end city job instead of a private law firm.

The Scott Administration has a terrible records of complying with the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act. We have won four lawsuits over FOI violations and just filed our fifth lawsuit. More are on the way.

Little Rock attorney Matt Campbell has also filed a lawsuit over FOI violations and has detailed difficulties and outright lies about transparency by the Scott Administration on his Blue Hog Report website. Campbell was interviewed by KATV concerning his difficulty in getting records about LITfest.

The feckless mayor will do anything to try and get his way.

It's time for change at LR city hall.

***UPDATE - 09/30/22 4:15 P.M.***

It's clear that the Scott Administration is trying to manufacture a reason to get rid of the city attorney. It's pure gaslighting.

Thanks again to Matt Campbell for sharing a copy of a letter he obtained via a FOI request.

The letter is from the city attorney to the feckless LR mayor. Read it for yourself.

The Scott Administration has tried to get rid of Carpenter because he attempts to hold it accountable.

That's why the board told the feckless mayor to shut the fuck up and sit down this past Tuesday afternoon.

We predict that criminal charges will ultimately be filed against Feckless Frank for FOIA violations and misuse and misdirection of public funds.

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
