LR Mayor refuses our request for an in-person inspection of records pursuant to the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act

Safe city of Little Rock autocratic mayor -Frank Scott the Junior

For the last couple of years we have requested records from the feckless Little Rock mayor concerning his state of the city address.

And each time they fail to provide all the records upon request.

We later obtained evidence of his violation of the law by refusing to provide certain records used at those state of the city events.

This year we made another request.

This was the response we received. A report from Metroplan, an single email message and three images. You can review those records by clicking here.

No doubt when the feckless mayor has the 2023 state of the city address, it will include a PowerPoint presentation and videos. All produced back in February.

He did not want us to have those public records before held the event.

We won't be filing a AFOIA Denial of Rights lawsuit for this violation of the law, instead we will be filing a civil lawsuit seeking his removal from office pursuant to Arkansas Code Annotated §14-42-109.

In our representative democracy form of government, the government's obligation to share information with citizens that is needed to make informed decisions and hold officials accountable for the conduct of the people's business. Especially when that information is sought via a Freedom of Information request.

A leader that flaunts and shuns transparency is a corrupt individual and needs to be removed from office.

The feckless mayor thinks he is above the law.

Help fund our legal effort to have Feckless Frank removed from office today by contributing to the cause.

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
