Warrant issued for arrest of Lawrence County 911 Communication Director Paige Vanbrook for theft

On May 3rd, Paragould Police received a call from Walmart Loss Prevention that a woman had attempted to shoplift a shopping cart full of items ($294.52 in value) and fled the store. They gave a description of the suspect and her vehicle.

Paragould cops stopped the suspect vehicle and determined that the shoplifter was Paige Vanbrook and Walmart employees confired her as the attempted shoplifter. Paragould PD released her at that time.

A warrant was issued for her arrest on June 5th by the Greene County District Court.

Turns out that Paige Danielia Vanbrook is the Lawrence County 911Communication Director and a resident of Hoxie, AR.

Why she has not been arrested yet is a mystery. Paragould is only 28 miles from Hoxie. Paragould PD or a Greene County Sheriff's Office Deputy could go grab her at her home or the Lawrence County 911 office.

Our take is that Hoxie PD, and Lawrence County is trying to help her out.
