Former Bryant cop arrested and charged with illegal use of ACIC database.

The Arkansas State Police sent out a press release on January 28th that a former Bryant, AR cop. Christopher Bennett, 22, of Little Rock had been arrested for illegally accessing information on the Arkansas Crime Information Center ("ACIA") database. That database is comprised of information that ACIC obtains from various other databases. Cops can see criminal history, driver's license photos and information as well as mugshots from arrests amd much more.

Bennett was employed by Bryant PD from May 30, 2023 through December 16, 2024.

According to the affidavit for his arrest, Bennett used the confidential law enforcement system to send a photo and information about a Willie Dixion to his brother Demarcus Bennett.

Demarcus Bennett then sent Dixon a photo on Facebook messenger of that confidential information. Demarcus Bennett also received information from his brother about a man that he was involved in with a hit and run accident.

As we have previously reported, when LRPD cops have been charged with the same criminal offense, the cases are heard by corrupt Pulaski County District Court Judge Butch Hale. Hale does nothing to them but let them go.

Another LRPD cop had her case go to Pulaski County Circuit Court as it was a felony case. Her court case is still going on.

Bennett's case will be heard in Saline County. Will they drop the hammer on him or just give him a slap on the wrist?

Stay tuned.

*** UPDATE 02/03/25***

After some pushback by the Bryant city attorney, Ashley Clancy, we were provided with a copy of Bennett's personnel file.

Bryant was not the first police department to employ Bennett. Bennett worked at LRPD as a cadet from September 2020 through March 2023. Apparently he had issues preventing him from becomings a LRPD cop. Why else would you pass up a $10,000 signing bonus and a higher salary?

Records reluctantly provided by the city of Bryant show that Bennett was fired on December 16, 2024 for illegally using the ACIA database.

If getting fired wasn't bad enough, the city attorney that really didn't want us to get his personnel file, violated his rights by faling to properly redact his Social Security Number.

We could clearly see his full SSN and his phone numbers (both phone numbers listed were his personal cellphone number) and have covered over their sloppy redaction attempt to protect his exempt information.
