Former ASP Trooper Mitchell Smothers |
According to a news release the Arkansas State Police sent us this morning, Trooper Mitchell Smothers resigned after he rolled his personal ride over with his two daughters in the back seat last night. Smothers was charged with Driving while Intoxicated ("DWI") and child endangerment.
Perhaps he got the Good Ole Boy Treatment as he is a former Washington County Sheriff's Deputy.
Smothers played football (defensive lineman) at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville from 2011 through 2015.
Smothers is set to appear at West Fork District Court on August 1, 2024.
We have requested video from the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
Stay tuned for updates.

The Washington County Sheriff denied our request for videos.
This is the statue they claim exempts the videos.
They really do not want the public to see how drunk the trooper was.
We are considering filing a AFOIA Denial of Rights lawsuit.
