Details about a domestic violence incident the Scott Administration and two former LRPD cops wanted to keep secret are obtained
We previously broke the story about two LRPD cops that resigned to try and keep the internal investigation report concerning a domestic violence incident they were involved in from being made public.

We were able to obtain details that the Scott Administration and it's police department did not want to let out either.
LRPD recommended the decertification of former cop Desidario Pullie to the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards and Training ("CLEST").
Pullie was romantically involved with another LRPD cop, Jakari Lott-Henderson.
Their relationship was a tumultuous one. Several incidents of violence had erupted between them and on October 10, 2023 the shit hit the fan.
That day Lott-Henderson was at Pullie's apartment on Green Mountain Drive and were arguing about her asking him to return a key to her apartment on Chenal Drive. Pullie grabbed her from behind and placed her in a choke hold. She was able to get away.Pullie foillowed her to her vehicle and hit her windshield with his fist breaking it.
Pullie claimed that she was the aggressor and that she hit him and pulled his service weapon out of its holster and threatened him.
LRPD was called and this is the narrative from the report that was made concerning that incident.
Both cops were placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.
LRPD forwarded a criminal file to the Prosecuting Attorney for charges against Pullie and they recommended a warrant be issued but Lott-Henderson refused to pursue charges so they shit-canned their file - a violation of the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act.
Pullie resigned on March 8th and Lott-Henderson on April 23rd.
On April 1st, LRPD sent CLEST a request to have Pullie decertified. They refused to provide us with that information.
CLEST initially fought our request, but reluctantly released the information they had on Pullie.
Here is the file they provided.
CLEST has advised that they will be sending additional records.
Stay tuned for updates.
